The Bible - Word of God or Words of Men? (Hardcover)

The Bible;"Word of God" or words of men? Truth versus the Myths of Christian Fundamentalism Has anyone ever informed you that you were going to Hell, because the Bible said so? Besides being shocked and hurt, did you have a reasonable answer for this person who believed to forsee your eternal destiny? Learn the conclusions of modern Bible Scholarship and the real reasons why the Bible is not the "inerrant Word of God" that Christian Fundamentalist use to base their threats on. Pictures and descriptions of the oldest known New Testament Greek manucripts are detailed, such as the Saint John Fragment (pictured in actual size on the front cover, the oldest known NT manuscript fragment). Codex Sinaiticus, the oldest manuscript containing the entire New Testament (dated 350AD), and others among the oldest known New Testament Greek Manuscripts available to mankind today for observation and study, are pictured and described. Differences in these existing manucripts, or "Variant readings" are discussed. Evidence for dates of the original New Testament books which have long since been lost or destroyed, the 400 year formation of the NT Canon, and the impact of Greek Philosophy on the New Testament, are all weighed against Christian Fundamentalist claims of Biblical inerrancy. The outrageous hoax of modern Bible Prophecy, the "left behind" myth, the "rapture" and the "War of Armageddon" falacies are critically examined and put in their proper historical perspective.
