The Bible, undoubtedly the most widely read book of the Western
world, has outsold every other book in the history of publishing.
Despite its popularity and cultural importance as the foundation of
Christianity and Judaism, few people have more than superficial
knowledge of the actual contents of the Scriptures. In What is the
Bible? Carl Lofmark clearly and succinctly synopsizes the basics of
biblical scholarship and criticism. Designed for the reader with
little or no prior knowledge of the subject, Lofmark's
approachable, well-organized presentation cuts through the
complexities of biblical exegesis and rationalist critiques, and
outlines the basic structure, history, and inherent theological
controversies of the Bible. The first half of Lofmark's discussion
summarizes the essential facts of biblical scholarship: how and
when the various books of the Bible were compiled, a brief history
of scriptural translations, the evolving understanding of the
Bible's original languages, and how the various editions we know
today were developed and codified across two millennia. The second
half delves into major critiques of the Bible as an authoritative
guide for living: its self-contradictions, its mixture of fact and
fiction, the questionable and even deplorable morality of many
biblical passages, the intellectual difficulties of literal or
symbolic interpretation, and its inadequacy as a foundation for
modern ethics. As an introduction to an important and often
controversial subject, What is the Bible? will be useful to
believers and skeptics alike.
