How the Bible Was Invented: A Lecture Delivered Before the Independent Religious Society, Orchestra Hall, Chicago, Illinois (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from How the Bible Was Invented: A Lecture Delivered Before the Independent Religious Society, Orchestra Hall, Chicago, Illinois
Many good people believe that the Bible was given by inspiration of God. The wording of my subject suggests that it is the work of men, and not always of honest men, either. Am I trying to offend people by intimating that the Bible was invented? On the contrary, I am exposing myself to criticism by telling these good people the truth about the Bible, which their own preachers, for some reason or other, have withheld from them.

How the Bible Was Invented (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical origins of some of the major elements of western religious tradition, specifically Christianity, and the ways in which they have shaped our morality and culture. The author argues that some of the fundamental teachings of Christianity, from the idea of eternal hell to the tenets of the faith as presented in the Bible, are derived from older oriental sources, and that they have been subject to manipulation by successive generations to support particular narratives and systems. The author challenges the idea that the Bible is the infallible word of God and examines the processes by which it came to be assembled, arguing that it is more an assemblage of different writings, some contradictory, and was affected by political and literary considerations of the time in which the books of the Bible were written. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333950064_0
