The Origins of the Bible is a historical study and evaluation of the writing and compilation of the books of the Bible beginning with the Book of the Covenant that Moses wrote at Mount Sinai around 1250 BC, which was subsequently lost. From that time forward Jews and Christians have been compiling, editing, copying and translating the writings of prophets and apostles in the hope of preserving the words of God. The author separates the historical facts from the religious traditions that surround the Bible by analyzing the internal historical details of the Bible itself and integrating the results into the secular historical time-line. Bible doctrines are then reviewed in light of that historical context. This book reveals the hand of God at work throughout history, but also reveals the erroneous beliefs that surround the Bible and its authorship to this day.Samuel Graham is the author of 'The Origins of the Bible: The Facts and Fiction Behind the World's Greatest Book', published 2002 under ISBN 9781588986955 and ISBN 1588986950.
