Synopsis

The Bible! Myth or Message? What is the Bible? Where did it come from? Is it am collection of ancient myths and stories? Or a mixture of fact and fiction? Is it unique? It is reliable? Is it inspired? Does it contain a message for mankind? If so from whom? Man or God? In answering these questions, Michael Penny communicates his enthusiasm through the liveliness of his writings. He quotes the evidence of the Bible itself as well as the findings of respected scholars and he has assembled a fascinating array of facts and figures to demonstrate that the Bible is ... a unique book which ought to be read: that it is a reliable book which should be studied; and that it is a divinely inspired message to mankind, which must be believed.
