Thompson combines literary criticism of biblical texts and detailed analysis of ancient history to show that we have to look at the Bible as a body of literature that reflects the philosophical and moral views of its authors. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The great discovery is that a predominantly oral history leads to a merging of fact with myth: no, surely not! From this inspiration, Mr. Thompson seems to dismiss all biblical claim to historic fact. I am not a professional historian, but I would guess that were one to take this view of all pre fifteenth, or sixteenth century history, we could dispel such theories as Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. I read on in the hope that the book would put something in the place of the dismissed history, but no: even when external historical documentation appears to support the bible, this is not to be allowed.
I read this book in the hope of learning more as to the boundaries between history and myth but this work seems to want to wipe the slate with nothing replacing the alleged fallacies.
Disappointing. ( )
