Se han escrito muchos libros sobre la Biblia, pero muy pocos explican su origen. Este libro proporciona una perspectiva fascinante sobre cómo se inspiró la Biblia, cómo se canonizó, se leyó como literatura sagrada, se copió en antiguos manuscritos hebreos y griegos, y finalmente se tradujo a los idiomas utilizados en el mundo. Ningún trabajo de un solo volumen puede igualar su abundante información sobre el desarrollo histórico de la Biblia.
Many books have been written about the Bible, but few explain its origins. This volume provides a fascinating overview of how the Bible was first inspired, canonized, read as sacred literature, copied in ancient Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, and eventually translated into the languages of the world. No one-volume work can match the wealth of information about the historical development of the Bible.
