With wit, wisdom, and an extraordinary talent for turning dry, difficult
reading into colorful and realistic accounts, the creator of the
bestselling Don't Know Much About(R), series now brings the world of
the Old and New testaments to life as no one else can in the bestseller
Don't Know Much About(R) The Bible. Relying on new research and
improved translations, Davis uncovers some amazing questions and
contradictions about what the Bible really says. Jericho's walls may
have tumbled down because the city lies on a fault line. Moses never
parted the Red Sea. There was a Jesus, but he wasn't born on Christmas
and he probably wasn't an only child.
Davis brings readers up-to-date on findings gleaned from the Dead Sea
Scrolls and Gnostic Gospels that prompt serious scholars to ask such
serious questions as: Who wrote the Bible? Did Jesus say everything we
were taught he did? Did he say more? By examining the Bible
historically, Davis entertains and amazes, provides a much better
understanding of the subject, and offers much more fun learning about
it.
