The Bible remains the bestselling book of all time, believed by nearly two billion people (Christians and Jews) to be divinely inspired. But in this hard-hitting new book, author Robert J. Hutchinson argues that it is actually much more than this. The ideas enshrined in the Bible, he says, triggered a revolution in human thought and established the moral and philosophical foundation for Western civilization, from the recognition of basic human rights and belief in limited government to authentic feminism and the development of empirical science. He shows that it is more a "culture-war" book than a work of religious apologetics.
Though the Bible is today under relentless attack by left-wing academics, novelists, and screenwriters to justify their own political agendas, Hutchinson fires back in this fast-paced, politically incorrect tour of the most important book ever written. This is a book atheists will fear and honest inquirers and believers will relish.

"Interesting read for people who are into studying the bible from a theological prespective. Though I am Christian, I think it was a little too biased for Christians. It should have discussed both sides more so that Atheists might enjoy it as well! " — Lorena (4 out of 5 stars)

“A dynamite demolition of the biblical ‘experts’ who tell us the holy book is untrustworthy and immoral to boot.”

" This was not only educational, but also entertaining. I will likely re-read to absorb more of the material, as there was a lot there. I found this to be a well-argued presentation of the impact the Bible has had on humanity. "
" Great book. A lot of historical data given about the bible and the christian faith. "
" Kind of like the P.I.G. to American History, it is a great supplemental resource. It can read like The Beginner's Guide to the Bible, but it does impart some interesting facts and information. "
" I'm Getting ready to read a few book on atheism, so I'm hopping this book will mentally prepare for the mental torture I'm about to put myself through. "
" I guess I would have to know what is politically correct to get why there needs to be a book discussing what is PI. The book was confusing and not very in-depth. "
" Good, as I recall. "
" Pretty good stuff for a non-LDS author. Would recommend reading any PIG book. "
" Fairly good, as I recall. "
