I'm asking for a book suggestion

Scarred for life

Recently, someone on here(I can't remember who) suggested the book, "Who Wrote the Bible?". I ordered it from Amazon and my husband has read it and loved it. It dealt mostly with the Old Testament. And my husband was wondering if there is a similar book about the New Testament and how the whole Bible was put together and how it was decided what writings were included.

Any suggestions?

I'd be interested in those suggestions too. I copped Who Wrote The Bible as well. Good read.

Which copy of Who Wrote the Bible did you get? There are two by two different authors. To which author are you referring?

I recommended Who Wrote The Bible by Richard Elliot Friedman a few days ago on here. I don't know of a book that covers that new testament entirely, but "History of the End of the World" by Jonathon Kirsch covers the book of revelation quite well. It's quite a thought-provoking read. I recommend it. It discusses Revelation from the time it was written until today, and all the hundreds/thousands of interpretations that people have come up with, and how all those people are dead now and the world is still alive and kicking.

"The Bible - a biography" by Karen Armstrong.

An excellent read, very well researched, it not only deals with how it came about, but with how it has been interpreted down the centuries, very illuminating. A "Must Read"
