Publisher's Synopsis
Ever wonder why we believe what we believe or how we came to accept the values we prize in our societies? Western society draws its values from so many sources. This book takes a developmental approach to examine the roots, evolution, and revolution of Christianity became a search for truth and meaning in life. Where and when did biblical canons get fixed by various religious groups? Were the translators of the Scriptures faithful in their translations? Were changes made in translations of the more ancient texts to agree with more recent, newer books in the Bible? Who were the men who gave us the various versions of the Bible? What did they believe? Why do we have all the various churches today? What debt do we owe to ourselves to be seekers of Truth and Meaning in life, embracing the legacy of our forebearers?
