About This Book

From Word to Book addresses questions that the author's students frequently raised about how the Bible was inspired, written, and passed down through the millennia. From the first storytellers to contemporary researchers working with digital technologies, the Bible's story reveals fascinating interactions between the divine and the human. The book's chapters offer insights both for those who find the Bible central in their life of faith, and for those who are skeptical about its claims or even wonder why the Bible matters. Brief illustrative texts from readers and scholars ranging across generations and geography enhance understandings about how the Bible as we know it was shaped.
