The Bible: ''Word of God'' or Words of Men?

Truth Versus the Myths of Christian Fundamentalism

The Bible;"Word of God" or words of men?

With modern Bible Scholarship and historical fact this book exposes the outrageous hoax of modern Bible Prophecy, the "left behind" myth, the "rapture" and the "War of Armageddon" falacies, and puts these myths in their proper historical perspective.

Has anyone ever informed you that "you are going to Hell", because the Bible said so? Besides being shocked and hurt, did you have a reasonable answer for this person who believed to forsee your eternal destiny?

Learn the conclusions of modern Bible Scholarship, and the real reasons why the Bible is not the inerrant, infallible "Word of God" that Christian Fundamentalist use to base their threats on.

Pictures and descriptions of the oldest known New Testament Greek manucripts are detailed; The Saint John Fragment, c.125AD pictured in actual size on the front cover, the oldest known NT manuscript fragment. Codex Sinaiticus, the ***oldest manuscript containing the entire New Testament (dated 350AD)***, and others among the oldest known New Testament Greek Manuscripts available to mankind today for observation and study, are pictured and described. Mankind does not have the original manuscripts, and the ones we do have differ in their readings, no 2 manuscripts are identical. Differences in these existing manucripts, or "Variant readings" are thoroughly reviewed.

The outrageous hoax of modern Bible Prophecy, the "left behind" myth, the "rapture" and the "War of Armageddon" falacies are critically examined and put in their proper historical perspective.

Evidence for dates of the original New Testament books which have long since been lost or destroyed, and the 400 year history of the formation of the NT Canon, are examined and weighed against Christian Fundamentalist claims of Biblical inerrancy.

Know the Truth about the Bible as you discuss these subjects with your "Born Again" and Christian Fundamentalist friends and family. Help them move on to a more mature spiritual worldview with this great book!
