The Origin of the Bible (Newly Revised)

Many books have been written about the Bible, but few explain its origins. This updated volume of the original classic provides a fascinating overview of how the Bible was first inspired, canonized, read as sacred literature, copied in ancient Hebrew and Greek manuscripts, and eventually translated into the languages of the world. The Origin of the Bible will describe the development of many translations into contemporary English, giving readers a thorough guide to the differences between them.
