| Description: |
A sweeping journey through more than two millennia of faith, politics, and culture, this book reveals how the world's most influential book has evolved, been contested, and transformed across continents and generations. Bruce Gordon brings scholarly rigour and narrative clarity to tracing the Bible's rise from ancient codices to its role in shaping empires, protest movements, and the lives of ordinary people.
This is not a static relic, but a living text whose meanings continually shift in new communities and new eras. From desert monasteries and Byzantine cathedrals to Chinese house churches and Latin American villages, Gordon shows us the Bible in motion, a force that has offered solace, provoked conflict, empowered oppressed voices, and stirred new visions of justice.
Accessible yet deep, this book invites both the curious and the learned to rediscover the Bible not merely as scripture, but as a global cultural phenomenon with an ongoing story. |
