Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. This is legitimately the Bible with commentary pointing out all of the absurdity. Considering my religious background Southern Baptist and the fact that I've actually read the Bible before from cover to cover, I can't help but laugh at myself given all the things pointed out in the Bible that I honestly just either blindly accepted as truth or skimmed over without question.
I was raised on the KJV and some of the scripture itself I read was so ridiculous, I actually pulled out multiple versions of the Bible while reading for cross reference and the message was legitimately the same. It kind of disturbed me how much I was willing to overlook to be honest.
I think the format of the scriptures in this book, broken down to a few lines of scripture at a time make it easier to really take note of what's happening and analyse it. This honestly makes you think. I bought this after it was pointed out stories in the Bible were aligned with myths from the same region. After reading this, I honestly don't care anymore, skeptics annotated bible pdf download free.
The whole thing Even if you are not inclined to believe that the Bible isn't a legitimate text describing God, I encourage you to take a peek.
Because if you are truly supposed to be well equipped to skeptics annotated bible pdf download free out to others for Christ, there are a whole lot of points in here that won't easily be combated with "Well, faith". Having been raised in a very fundamentalist christian denomination and over the years coming to disbelieve. I found this bible to be very freeing. Not freeing to disbelieve but freeing to not be oppressed.
Reading this bible I find myself shaking my head thinking how could I have un-questioningly believed so much non-sense. What really gets me while reading this is how parents could teach their children that this is the infallible word of a god. That this murderous, vengeful, vindictive god is love. To teach a child that they are born evil and full of sin and the only thing that saves them is a bloody cruel sacrifice to appease this skeptics annotated bible pdf download free is an horrendous thing to do.
If you are someone that has spent years trying to shake what you were taught from the bible, read this version. I hope it will help you as much as it has me. I gave a copy to my sister and her results were the same as mine. Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase. Although a well put-together work, as a life-long atheist, I didn't find anything in here that was new to me. Whole shelves of books on Biblical analysis have dealt often in great detail with skeptical positions on pretty much every point raised in this volume.
I was tempted to only give four stars for that reason. On the other hand, I didn't want to slight a book which obviously took a tremendous amount of work to assemble simply because -I- already have a library of atheist writings. And indeed, this book provides a very handy single-volume reference for material which would otherwise have to be searched out over many books.
The book is printed in Biblical format -- parallel columns -- with the Biblical text on one side of the page, and the skeptical deconstruction on the other. The author identifies various categories of issue: contradictions; injustices; cruelties; conflicts with science; etc. Of course few Biblical literalists are likely to be swayed from their beliefs by this or, indeed any other skeptical book.
But those believers who feel that parts of the Bible are allegorical may find this analysis interesting, and perhaps even helpful. And for skeptical freethinkers, its a handy reference to use skeptics annotated bible pdf download free having a Bible discussion or debate. If you were only going to have one skeptical religious reference on your shelf, skeptics annotated bible pdf download free, The Skeptic's Annotated Bible would definitely be one of the better choices you could make.
I read the bible at age 9, skeptics annotated bible pdf download free. I wanted to read all of the stuff that made me laugh at the church people since I was 6. It took about a year. I read it again when I was 27 and again at I just finished this book and decided I have pretty much the same opinion I did when I was 6, albeit a more educated and hopefully more tolerant.
The opinion I had then and do now is that the bible This version however is NOT crap. The author goes to great lengths to show just why the others are. Not sure which comedian said religion has always been an insecure persons attempt at controlling the weather but any sane person should realize that all of it is nonsense. Please realize this soon. You've been screwing up the planet for much too long.
Read the bible. Then read this version. If you still "believe," get help. This has been nothing if not an eye opening read. As an atheist I'd always had a latent interest in reading the Bible, but had never felt like committing to doing so.
The annotations here have been helpful in not only pointing out inconsistencies, but also explaining context that I might have skipped over had I been trying to wade through the text alone.
While I am still in the Old Testament, I feel that what I've read so far is just a mashup of various unrelated stories - hardly any of which have a moral foundation or any real meaning.
I think that a good follow on to this book would be something to explain the origin of some of these stories and why they were deemed to be important enough by the original authors to be included, skeptics annotated bible pdf download free.
As it is I'm left with the impression that if a good editor were handed the Bible, it would be a vastly smaller work. See all reviews from the United States. Top international reviews. Translate all reviews to English. This is absolutely wonderful! Steve Wells has done a truly inspired job here,not only pointing out contradictions in the Bible I had noticed myself for years but a whole load I hadn't,What is most clear is that skeptics annotated bible pdf download free of the prophecies supposedly referring to Jesus in the Old Testament or Hebrew Bible don't refer to him at all-hence Judaism and Christianity are actually two different religions.
As someone happily transitioning out of religion altogether,this is the perfect resource. Issac Asimov said that a proper reading of the Bible is the most potent force for atheism, and this one certainly fits the bill.
