ISBN10: 0141022965, ISBN13: 9780141022963, [publisher: Penguin Books Ltd, London] Softcover First Edition Paperback. The Bible is moving, inspirational and endlessly fascinating - but is it true? Starting with Genesis and the implicit background to the birth of Christ, Robin Lane Fox sets out to discover how far biblical descriptions of people, places and events are confirmed or contradicted by external written and archaeological evidence. He turns a sharp historian's eye on when and where the individual books were composed, whether the texts as originally written exist, how the canon was assembled, and why the Gospels give varying accounts even of the trial and condemnation of Jesus. The Bible is moving, inspirational and endlessly fascinating - but is it true? Starting with Genesis and the implicit background to the birth of Christ, the author sets out to discover how far biblical descriptions of people, places and events are confirmed or contradicted by external written and archaeological evidence.
