The book seeks to present the facts regarding the origins of the Bible based on current scholarly consensus, focusing on the human elements involved in the processes of writing, transcribing, and preserving th...
book sets the groundwork for a discussion on the Hebrew Scriptures, emphasizing their history and how they were composed over time by various authors and under diverse circumstances. Gladden critiques traditional views regarding the Bible's miraculous origin, likening it to the natural growth of a tree, and introduces the concept of "Higher Criticism" to analyze these texts academically. He asserts that while the Bible is indeed a significant spiritual text, recognizing its human elements and literary history can enrich rather than diminish its value. Through examining the language and context of the writings, Gladden prepares the reader for a reevaluation of their understanding of the Bible's authorship and composition as they engage with the text in the chapters to come.
