The Origin of the Bible

No other book has been written about as much as the Bible; so why another book? Although there are numerous books to help readers understand the content of the Bible, very few of them explain its origin. This volume offers a fascinating overview of how the Bible was first inspired, read as sacred literature, canonized, copied in ancient Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, and eventually translated into the world's languages.

The Origin of the Bible is a detailed guide to the origin and development of the biblical text, manuscripts, canon, and translations. This new revised edition provides a wealth of information about the historical development of the Bible and is an excellent resource for pastors, Bible teachers, students, seminarians, and lay Christians interested in the topic.
