Jaroslav Pelikan; widely regarded as one of the most distinguished historians of our day; now provides a clear and engaging account of the Bible’s journey from oral narrative to Hebrew and Greek text to today’s countless editions. Pelikan explores the evolution of the Jewish; Protestant; and Catholic versions and the development of the printing press and its effect on the Reformation; the translation into modern languages; and varying schools of critical scholarship. Whose Bible Is It? is a triumph of scholarship that is also a pleasure to read.

3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Not the best book on WWIBy JenniferI was recently assigned this book for one of my graduate courses in History. The first half of the book almost seems completely separate and not connected to the material in the second half of the book. It fails to paint a wholistic picture of WWI; but rather; zeroes in on odd details only known by those who have specialties in particular battles. As you read more; the book does get better; but only marginally. There are also quite a few typos and grammatical errors in this book. Overall I'm disappointed.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Joseph J. FoxVery readable0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Highly recommendBy Paul T. DavisThis program spent a lot of time about the parts of the war that have been ignored by most authors. Extremely well done in my opinion.
