There’s absolutely no doubt you would not have heard of the Bible.

But where did it come from? And when did it first appear?

Chances are that you will find these two questions a little trickier to answer.

The truth is that the history of the Bible is not well-known and well-recorded, and yet it involves a rich list of stories and information that add even more clarity to this sacred book. But I decided to change that.

I wrote Understanding the History of the Bible for people just like you who may want to know more about the story of how the Bible came to be, and where the idea of it was first conceived.

Furthermore, this book will offer some vital information on who wrote it and the rich history behind it. Not only that, but it also goes into an in-depth detail on which books were left out of the Bible and why it was so.

•How the Bible came to be

•Which authors contributed to its writing

•How God transmitted his word to the prophets

•Legitimate and proven historical data on the writings within the Bible

•A clear timeline of each stage of the book and which author played a part in that stage

It's important to know the history of where the Bible comes from. People tend to blindly follow or are completely misinformed about the historicity and accuracy of the Scriptures. The author did a lot of research into the origins, how it was put together, and how it has been preserved throughout the years. Aside from the history, the author dives into the relationship between the various authors and God, who inspired them to write these texts. The blend of facts and story made this listen overall engaging and relatable. At first, I thought a man should have narrated it since the author mentions his family, but the narrator did a great job and kept it entertaining.
