| Summary |
"The Bible: I. Authenticity II. Credibility III. Morality" by John E. Remsburg is a critical examination of the Christian Bible written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the authenticity, credibility, and moral teachings of the Bible, challenging the common belief in its divine origin and infallibility. Remsburg aims to equip readers with a deeper understanding of biblical criticism to question the traditional dogmas surrounding the text. The opening of the book sets the stage for a rigorous analysis of the Bible, beginning with the author's reflections on the need to address conflicting perspectives regarding its authority. The preface outlines his intention to dismantle the assumptions about the Bible's divine and moral stature, as well as its authenticity and authorship. Remsburg indicates that the subsequent sections will methodically investigate the historical context of the Bible's compilation, its textual inconsistencies, and the moral implications of its teachings, ultimately challenging the notion of its infallibility and urging for a more critical engagement with its contents.
