Whose Bible is It?: A Short History of the Scriptures Audiobook

" A decent summary of the history of Jewish and Christian Canons through the eyes of a theologically liberal Eastern Orthodox convert. Worth the read, even if his conclusion is a bit vague when it comes to actually determining whose Bible it is... "

" Pop-history garbage. If you're looking for a history of the bible, look elsewhere. If you're looking for a goodread, look elsewhere. "

" Pelikan's ability to digest and synthesize the varieties of Christian tradition is impressive. This book demonstrates his very generous mind. "

" Very dry and hard to stay with, but one of the most thourough comparative books about the scriptures. It offers a great secular perspective of the Bible if you have a genuine thirst fot the information. "

" Pelikan is a distinguished historian of Christianity and this is a treasure of information about Jewish and Christian scriptures. "

" Whose Bible Is It? is by far the most readable Bible history I've come across. It is informative, interesting, and relatively unbiased. "

" What one comes to expect from Pelikan: great learning presented in a clear, unpretentious, helpful way. "

" This is a great history of the Bible for lay people. Pelikan is a theologian but does a great job of explaining how the Bible came to be without using theospeak. Very readable, very enlightening. "
