Title: tired 'higher criticism' rehash
Product review: Asimov was indeed one of the great fiction writers of our time, as well as a capable chemist. But Bible scholar? If anything, this book is a good study in secular humanism's approach to the Bible. However, good objective Biblical scholarship this isn't. Within its pages, are many of the arguments made by the 'higher criticism' camp of the late 19th and early 20th century. Even in it's 1992 rewritten form it overlooks several recent archeological findings and still manages to mangle the greek. In plain English, this book preaches to the choir of skeptics.
