The Bible in History: How Writers Create a Past

by ThomasL.Thompson (Author)

Synopsis

Professor Thomas suggests that we misunderstand the Bible if we read it as history, which he considers a modern concept completely incompatible with the world-view of antiquity. He shows we have to regard the Bible as a body of literature reflecting the philosophical and moral views of its authors.
