The Bible Doesn't Say That: 40 Biblical Mistranslations, Misconceptions, and Other Misunderstandings | Dr. Joel M. Hoffman

Pickpick

This is concise and clear about the ways ideas are misrepresented in the Christian Bible. The book made clear again and again that the historical evidence that the New Testament was written a century or more after the events it depicts and not by the people they are attributed to; though, he never takes that step.

GingerAntics He probably avoids that because he talks a lot about the Bible NOT being history and the need to stop reading and interpreting it as such. If you want to have a faith open to critical thinking or if you have realised in other ways that all the noise about the Bible and god is anything but holy, this is the book for you. If you believe in a literal translation of the Bible, this is not the book for you because it‘s just going to rile you up. 7d

As a historian, this is like day one, class one of every graduate program. If you have a REALLY good undergrad prof, they might mention it then, but mostly they are focused on getting you into grad school. Go figure.
In fact, I was taught these two points in the opposite directions. Who wrote it first, then who paid them to write it?

If you feel compelled to begin a debate about the literal nature of the Bible in response to the above quote that takes historical and cultural views into account, save your time and mine… just unfollow.
