Sommario/riassunto: | Those who believe in the literal truth of the Bible and those who fundamentally distrust it are at opposite ends of the belief spectrum. Steven McKenzie argues that both camps are operating under a basic misunderstanding of the nature of the texts collected in the Hebrew Bible and New Testament. |
