《圣经》曾被称为"历史上最为人所误解的一部书籍。"

这位陌生客有一个信息......

曾有因它而起的战争,因它而形成的谣传,也有靠它而立或因它而废的政策。神学家为它辩解,又对它作出批评。抱怀疑态度的人也曾对它有如此的表现。若你是一般人,你亦会因《圣经》所引发的问题而困扰不已。我们要问的依然如是:"它到底说了些什么?"

......给那些对全世界最畅销的书籍--《圣经》毫无认识的人,

《陌生客、同路人》这本书把《圣经》的主题内容清楚地、逻辑地陈述出来,并没有挂一漏万。当中作者把整部《圣经》的内容按其先后次序编写成一出世界名剧,而且尝试从历史著述者的角度看每一事件。其写作结果有时是令人感到诧异的,有时是使人震惊的--但却都是忠于《圣经》的内容原意的。

"......也给那些愿意知道更多的人。"

当你读必此书时,你可能会发现你会一反常态地相信"这部书";又或许你仍然决定不相信《圣经》所说的。然而,作者以客观的方法把决定权全留给你。

I really enjoyed this book as I have the rest of his. There were a couple of times I wondered if I did like this book as much but stuck it out through those small sections. This book delves into a side of Alex and John that we haven't seen yet as Alex tries to catch the man who killed his wife 10 years ago. We get the details of her death and how Alex has dealt with it. He is at a point in his life where he truly wants to move on but he feels he needs to solve her case first. Fabulous surprises towards the end that had me commenting out loud and getting my co-worker to ask what I was talking about. A very good read. I am now looking forward to the next book in this series. ( )
