Description
No single book has done more to alert confessional Christians - who still regard the Judeo-Christian Bible as an authoritative text - that a wolf was in the sheep pen, than did Professor Jakob Van Bruggen's classic, The Future of the Bible. Here is the most helpful, panoramic view of the history of how non-ecclesial "Bible Societies" took the Bible from its natural matrix, the Church, and so mangled it in the name of "communication" that the future of the Bible at this moment in time could not look more bleak. May the reappearance of this title again alert those who have been asleep at the gate for perilously too long. - From the Preface by Theodore Letis
