Don’t Know Much About the Bible by Kenneth C. Davis
This book will really put a kink in what most people know about the Bible, for better and worse. Davis here compiles much research regarding the sources of most Bible text which is quite varied. I fear his accuracy is likely closer than what most folk want to know but I found it most useful […]
