This book is definitely not written by someone who believes the Bible is the inspire words of God. As a Christian I started this book thinking I was going to learn a lot of really neat information about Hebrew scriptures and stuff that I just miss when I am reading the Bible on my own. After getting just a little ways into this book I was wondering if, as a Christian, I should be reading this. It presents everything in the Bible as a myth. Like other reviewers said it compares the Bible to myths of other cultures but does not take into account that other cultures could have these myths because these events did happen. Also like the other reviewer said, I often find myself reading this book with my Bible open next to it. Some of the information regarding the Hebrew Bible was interesting. I think that it is enlightening in the way that I am seeing the Bible from another perspective. I find that this book has caused me to dig into the scriptures to find the truth, which is not presented in this book. I would not recommend this book in most instances.
