read for Humanities 110 ( )

I'm an atheist but I respect everyone's beliefs (as long as they respect mine!), and I'm reading the Bible for the first time in an attempt to understand others' perspectives better. It really is fascinating and is an incredibly valuable historical and anthropological resource. I'm only up to Deuteronomy, but I'm very much enjoying the read already--though I do find myself skipping over the census parts and the stuff about how many cubits the tabernacle has to be. :) I think this will be an extremely educational read and I'm glad I decided to try it. I'd recommend it to anyone regardless of their spiritual inclinations. ( )

Very handy, small Bible but contains everything. Fits nicely in my purse. Love to be able to have a Bible nearby no matter where I am. The print is very small, though, and I'm beginning to have trouble reading it now that I'm getting old. ( )

I wore-out my NIV bible when I was young but now I prefer the New Revised Standard Version. The language of the NIV strikes me as a little flat, now. Still, I give the NIV lots of credit -- has any translation since the KJV has been so meaningful to so many people? ( )

A flat, fictional work, describing the lives of neanderthals who believed they met Jesus, the supposed "sun of god." This book is full of lies, fallacies, and contradictions. The characters are flat and one-dimensional. This book also contains myriad murder, violence, and violence-based laws that have no place in a civilized society. ( )
