Description
Book Synopsis: With this book Leslie Scrase thoughtfully explains to readers exactly how the writing of the Bible was compiled over the two thousand years that it came into existence, he expands on what it means to the various different religions and, perhaps most importantly to the unbeliever, he uncovers those parts which are beautifully written and meaningful to humanity in general. The author himself grew up in a Methodist family, attended a Methodist theological college, which was part of the London University, and then served as a minister for about 20 years. He had a few years as a presbyter of the Church of South India and was also Principal of the Medak Bible School whilst there. At this time he would read the Old Testament once every three years and the New Testament every year, giving him a deep knowledge of the text. He has also included within this guide the Apocrypha, the part of the Bible less read by Protestant Christians, because it contains passages of great thoughtfulness and beauty. Over a period of time Leslie Scrase's views began to move away from Christianity, and the final realization that he no longer had any religious beliefs lifted a great weight from his shoulders. Now he is able to take a dispassionate look at the Bible, consider it in context with both history and the many various religions which take inspiration from it, explain to unbelievers what it means to believers, and also extract those parts which have appeal and value to all mankind today without the need for religious ideology.
