A History of the Bible: The Book and Its Faiths by John Barton

5.0

i wish this book had focused just a bit more on the concurrent growth & change in jewish approaches to scripture, instead of so heavily centering christian approaches in the second half, but i also understand why that happened so. a very good overview, overall, of the history as we understand it of biblical composition, redaction, and translation.
