One read this book and you find out why it's been such a great seller. You will find out WHY so-called "free-thinkers" to this day CAN'T write something that can outsell it.
You will find out why many atheists, who claim that this Yahweh doesn't exist and think that they're so much smarter than its "primitive" followers, past and present, can't use their precious "logic and reason" to send this book into irrelevance (and it ain't been for lack of trying).
Be amazed as non-believes make screwball statements about this best-seller, without the benefit of full perspective, only to dine on crow, once the historical and contextual picture becomes clear. Take the verses in Deut. 20 and 21, in which Israel deal with its enemies, who were just nice townfolk, participating in human sacrifice of women and children (Of course, the "brights" and non-believers don't tell you that. After all, why let facts, stand in the way of a good anti-Yahweh rant?)
When you read this book, you will see why these self-proclaimed "brights" end up looking like anything but such, when they make claims that certain events didn't happen and certain people didn't exist, only to have historical and archaeological discoveries embarrass them, time and time again.
Yep, that's the Bible: Time-tested, skeptic-scorned, historically validated, and believer-approved
