Review # 1 was written on 2009-08-04 00:00:00 Robert Wolf The 'Good Book' ranges widely in readability, from genuinely interesting stories and historical myth to dry genealogies and ancient blueprints. Some of the authors are fond of sticking to a stereotyped format, so that you end up reading the same "headers" and "footers" again and again; not very fun. My rating of three stars is generous, buoyed by the (cherry-picked) genuine wisdom of several books and the tangential insights it gave me in learning about Christian scripture. While the book does have its own merits, sadly history has made it a force for evil in this world, as it's even now often used to justify hatred, violence, divisiveness, child abuse, mutilation, policies that allow the spread of AIDS, pseudoscience, rejection of good science, exaltation of ignorance, etc. By no means am I trying to pigeonhole all believers this way, but I believe those multitudes of faithful who ARE intelligent or good are so in spite of religion. I very much doubt any of the supernatural events of the Bible actually happened.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-05-22 00:00:00 Kathy Milonas I've read the Bible through cover to cover at least three times--and studied portions of it for many years. So, I imagine I've read most of it at least 20 times. My favorite was the Jersualem Bible (now out of print--and not to be confused with the New Jerusalem Bible) I love the King James for the poetry in Psalms in particular--but for reading and understanding the NIV is my current favorite. (I wore out my Jerusalem Bible) The study version has excellent notes.
