The Holy Bible: A Buyer’s Guide

By Leonard J. Greenspoon
37 Walk through the religion section of any major bookstore, and you’ll see an amazing array of Bibles. The broad selection of translations (also called versions)—and the seemingly endless ways in which they are packaged—is without historical...

The Bible in the Funny Papers

By Leonard J. Greenspoon

Our Bodies, Our Bibles

Our bodies and our biblical interpretations seem to be involved in a long-running, secret affair. The implications may be both liberating and scandalous.

Bible Review, April 1999

Caution: Bible Critic at Work

By David Noel Freedman
042 The task of the biblical text critic is to try to make sense of biblical verses. The text critic faces many kinds of problems. I would like to offer as illustrations two cases where I would recommend emending the text—actually changing the...

When God Acts Immorally

Is the Bible a good book?
By Ronald S. Hendel
035 The Bible is often called the Good Book. In the way we usually think about the Bible, its good reputation is warranted. From it we learn moral precepts such as “Love your neighbor,” “Honor your father and mother,” “You shall not murder...

What America Believes About the Bible

By Leonard J. Greenspoon
Late 20th century and (thus far) early 21st century Americans are surely the most prodded, probed and polled people in history. Pollsters contact, calculate and communicate Americans’ views on every topic imaginable (and some that, frankly, I couldn’t imagine), from political persuasions to sexual...

Mission To Alexandria

Truth and legend about the creation of the Septuagint, the first Bible translation
By Leonard J. Greenspoon
034 It often comes as a surprise to laypeople to learn that ancient copies of the Bible vary, sometimes in minor ways, but sometimes, also, in important ways. Variation exists between any two manuscripts of the Bible, even when they are written...

The Kitchen Debate

Three Scholars Discuss a Major New Book on History and the Bible
By Ronald S. HendelWilliam W. HalloKenneth A. Kitchen
When we received a copy of Kenneth A. Kitchen’s new book, On the Reliability of the Old Testament, we knew that we should review it. Kitchen is one of the world’s leading scholars (he specializes in Egyptology), and the subject matter of the book—how historically accurate is the Bible?—is of central interest to many of our readers. We asked Ronald Hendel, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley and a columnist for our sister magazine, Bible Review, to review it for us.

By David Noel Freedman

The Great Gulf Between Scholars and the Pew

The Secret Code Hoax

By Ronald S. Hendel
023 If the Bible is the ineffable word of God, then it makes sense that all truth is to be found in it. An early rabbinic sage by the delightful name of Ben Bag-Bag said, “Turn it and turn it again, for all things are in it.”1 The history of...

Combine the Best from Each Tradition

By Ronald S. Hendel
028 I believe that we are ready for a new critical edition of the Hebrew Bible. We now have sufficient ancient texts and critical tools to improve the Hebrew text that has come down to us as the textus receptus, the Masoretic Text, or MT...

When the Sons of God Cavorted with the Daughters of Men

By Ronald S. Hendel
008 If someone asked you to name the origin of a story about gods who take human wives and then give birth to a race of semidivine heroes, you might answer: It’s a Greek myth, or perhaps a Norse legend, or maybe a folktale from Africa or India...
