Review

An entertaining and informed book.Daily Telegraph A straightforward, stirring, mercifully unsubtle account of a cultural icon we take for granted.The Times Illuminating and fascinating - how rich a past the Bible has, how little most of us know about it, and how well Alister McGrath makes all things clear.Fay Weldon
