Whose Bible Is It? A History Of The Scriptures Through The Ages by Jaroslav Pelikan
A History of the Scriptures Through the Ages
A concise history of how the biblical scriptures emerged and evolved, from oral traditions and the formation of the Hebrew Bible to the Septuagint, canon debates, and the divergent Jewish and Christian canons. It traces transmission and translation—from scrolls to the Vulgate and vernacular Bibles—showing how liturgy, tradition, the Reformation, printing, archaeology, and modern scholarship shaped interpretation and authority. The narrative explains why different communities claim the Bible differently and what that means for faith, culture, and interreligious understanding today.
