I was thinking … … what if the bible had never been written? How will the world be like? To my surprise, I found a book with exactly the same title What if the Bible had Never Been Written?. This book wonderful book on the importance the Bible played in the history of mankind is written by Dr. D. James Kennedy (Senior Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church; Chancellor of Knox Theological Seminary). As the excerpts on the back cover writes:
Whether the bible is viewed as a historical book or words to live by, there’s no denying the dramatic differences it has made in people’s lives.
From the ten commandments, which many of our nation’s laws and government are based upon, to the Golden rule, a verse taken straight out of the New Testament, to many of today’s most common phrases and expressions, there is no doubt as to the influence the bible has on everyone, in some degree, every day. What if the Bible had Never Been Written? Provides a well-documented and in-depth look at the impact the Book of Books has had on humanity.
This book is divided into 15 chapters. Chapters 1-11, the author explains the impact the Bible had on morality, society, law, politics, Science, literature, missions, & everyday things. To witness to non-Christians, chapters 12-14 may be helpful. These three chapters focus on the reliability, importance & central message of the Bible. As with all books written by Dr. J. Kennedy, this book too is well-researched & documented. I first saw this book about five years ago, but it was good to be able to read it again.
