In a clear and concise way, Barton describes the process in the development of the Bible. He explains how the Bible as we know it came to be written and collected into the authoritative scriptures of the Christian Church. Barton untangles the web of history and lets the reader appreciate the journey from spoken word to written word, and from written word to acceptance as the Word of God. And How the Bible Came to Be contains a helpful glossary to define important terminology.
