Even the Introduction was interesting. I've always said we can't make truth, untrue. It is fascinating how many of the "Sacred Texts" hold some of the same truths. Regardless of your faith system, you truly should know what others use as their references. The book explains diplomatically what texts say without negotiating validity. Do you know where your sacred text came from? Was it an original work? Was it pieced together from older texts? Was it repackaged to suit the leaders of your faith system? OK, so the last question isn't specifically answered, and I'm glad it wasn't, but the book is a great place to start to investigate such questions.
