How the Bible Was Built

Though it remains the world’s best-selling book, few people can say just how its writings were brought together. James Bennett and Charles Smith clearly tell the story of how the Bible came to be. Written by Smith in response to his granddaughter’s questions, the manuscript was discovered after Smith’s death and has been reworked by his friend James Bennett for a wider audience. Free of theological or sectarian slant, this volume provides a factual overview of the Bible’s construction throughout history, outlining how its various books were composed, collected, canonized, and translated.
