Review title: This book missed the boat
Product review: While I enjoyed Davis' history books, his treatment of the Bible misses the boat (to put it in Noah's terms). While he states some of his finding are controversial, that's not a license to print pure poppycock (such as comparing Genesis to Greek mythology.)It's as if Davis is more interested in looking for controversy instead of simply telling a wonderful story. He does cover the main premises of the Bible very clearly and if he had just stuck to that it'd be an A+.I was going to send this back but want to keep it as an example of how not to study the bible. If the bible is real stuff written by real people (who are at times, real messed up) then I'd have to say Mr. Davis "don't know much about the bible." Instead, I'd suggest "The Message" by Peterson (available from Amazon.)
