This is the story behind who changed the Bible and Why. We offer this book to our customers and friends who constantly hear in the media all the talk about the absolute truth of the Bible and need some historical background.

The author started off as a born-again Christian. He was warned not to go into the history too much, but he did, and as he studied the subject, his commitment to the evangelical doctrine became less and less. He saw that the Bible is a very human book written by humans.

The author chairs the Department of Religious Studies at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
