historical merits of the bible?
#9
RE: historical merits of the bible?
There's some actual history (abet heavily influenced by both politics and religion) in Kings and Chronicles.

Prior to that you aren't going to learn much except how the Hebrews thought of themselves and perhaps a little about current technology and social habits. But there was so much reworking of this material during the Babylonian captivity, that it's suspect even for that purpose.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
