Requests:  0 Summary:  The idea of the Bible as "Holy Scripture," a non-negotiable authority straight from God, has prevailed in Western society for some time. And while it provides a firm foundation for centuries of Christian teaching, it denies the depth, variety, and richness of the text. Barton argues that the Bible is not a prescription to a complete, fixed religious system, but rather a product of a long and intriguing process which has inspired Judaism and Christianity, but still does not describe the whole of either religion. He argues that it must be read in its historical context-- from its beginnings in myth and folklore to its many interpretations throughout the centuries. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 220.09 Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 220.09 Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 220.09 Barton Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 220.09 Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 220.09 Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 220.09 Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 220.09 Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 220.09 Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 220.09 Ba Checked out 04/27/2024 Add Copy to MyList
