Reading the Bible in the Run Up to Death de John Weightman
Essayist, critic, and linguist John Weightman late in life devoted himself to reading the Bible completely, in English and French, and then wrote this gentle yet scathing critique of the contradictions, paradoxes, misinterpretations, and inconsistencies he found in the various versions and their commentaries.
