Status Updates From Whose Bible Is It? A Histor...

Using this as my testing ground for reading methods taught in How to read a book by Mortimer J Adler. This has slowed my reading, but my reading is much deeper. This book seems marketed as a contemporary history of the bible, but it is pretty complex, and deals with a lot of history & philosophy. If anything, it shows that the history of the bible is something more complex than what 300 pages can do justice.

I have been reading this on and off on audio for a few months as a background comfort read since I know alot about theology & the Bible, but I was often getting lost or would quit paying attention. So, I decided to restart this book by reading it traditionally. This book has a lot more going on than I thought. It looks like contemporary writing, but it's actually serious scholarship. The first chapter is brilliant!
