Item description from seller

Hardback. A couple of small tears to edge of D/J . This book describes the making of the Bible, the creation of both the Old and the New Testaments and charts the book's survival through the long centuries of its life. This is a unique book; no single volume tells the story of the Bible's extraordinary journey from the most ancient East to the heart of the modern West.The author uses his considerable experience of the worlds of art history and archaeology to advantage as he unravels the story of the making and the use and misuse of the world's most beautiful and influential book. With a sure touch he sets the historical scene and brings to vivid life the midwives and guardians that providence or a kindly Diety provided to deliver and cherish the Bible. From the silty plains of Mesopotamia on whose floods many Noahs set sail, to the quiet Valley of the Nile where sombre temples were filled with a sense of the holy, Romer traces the seeds of Judaism and Christianity. He describes in lively detail how the Bible was written and by whose hands. Illustrated. 368 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
