    About this audiobook

    Bringing to life the world of the Old and New Testaments, the acclaimed creator of the bestselling Don't Know Much About® series transforms dry, difficult reading into colorful and realistic accounts. Relying on new research and improved translations, Kenneth C. Davis uncovers some amazing questions and contradictions about what the Bible really says:

    •Jericho's walls may have tumbled down because the city lies on a fault line.
    •Moses never parted the Red Sea.
    •There was a Jesus, but he wasn't born on Christmas and he probably wasn't an only child.

    Don't Know Much About® the Bible entertains and astonishes, but more important, provides a much better understanding of the world's most-owned but least-understood anthology, with much more fun along the way.

      Very interesting read. The author definitely comes from the believer's point of view and skips over a few things I'd like to see explained, but overall good. Investigating the origins of stories and the history surrounding the writers provides interesting insights.
    • 4/5
      This is amazingly a fast read, and quite informative. As with all religious books written by even former Jesuit priests, take everything with a grain of salt, but enjoy. :)
    • 5/5
      I am a huge fan of Kevin Davis's Don't Know Much About series. They are always an excellent starting point for study and understanding the big picture of a topic. DKMA The Bible does not disappoint. He is informative and amusing as always, but never disrespectful or flippant. He presents some rabinical and religious thought behind some of the questions about the Bible (like why there are two sets of the Ten Commandments), and presents some great quotes. An excellent book to start religious study, but it shouldn't be the only resource used to understand the history of the Bible, the content of the Bible, or Christianity (even for non-Christians)
    • 5/5
      Overall, this is probably the best book I've read on the subject. That subject being the history and idiosyncrasy of the Bible. Although not as detailed as Friedman's "Who Wrote the Bible?" it covers the entire Bible, not just the Old Testament. A fantastic book for believers and non-believers alike as it gives you quite a bit of insight into the background of the Good Book and many of the stories you were taught incorrectly in Sunday School.
    • 4/5
      An interesting, comprehensive and yet accessible guide to the bible. Not as much detail as I'd hoped on some topics, way too much filler on others. If you already know the book and religion, you are unlikely to learn much. But I learned some, and a few decades ago would have really learned a lot. Written in a light, but respectful manner. You will have some ideas challenged.
