About This Item
Holt. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1989. First American Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0805009396 . 367 pp. Plus 28 unnumbered pages of plates. Additional illustrations & maps. The Bible and History. "Romer takes readers on a historical journey of several thousand years. Along the way he moves from evaluating history's place in the Bible to the Bible's place in history. Though his lively style makes the long trek easy for the nonspecialist, this very ease, combined with an air of authority, is at the same time a disadvantage. Romer warns against using archaeology and ancient history to prove the Bible true, yet he uses these same disciplines to prove the Bible at best unprovable. The most he will grant is that the Bible's portrait of its world is in keeping with what is known from nonbiblical sources. In addition, he views the Bible and the faiths it chronicles as amalgams of bits and pieces of the religions and cultures they encountered. Some influence is certain, but Romer overstates the case. An interesting work that, unfortunately, lacks balance." Library Journal Review. 1989. ; 10.10 X 7.90 X 1.50 inches; 367 pp pages .
