Since the invention of the printing press, the world's consistently bestselling book has been the Bible. Since 1815, it has been printed an estimated five billion times. And yet, what do many of us know about this ancient and influential text? Compiled over centuries, the Bible is considered to be both a divinely inspired message and the work of human authors. Throughout its history, it has grown from a collection of stories and teachings shared through oral tradition to a founding text for three of the world's great religions. It has been copied and recopied into countless manuscripts, pronounced from the pulpit, studied in universities and synagogues, and read in private. Translated and distributed all over the world, it bears the mark of the many cultures that have debated its meaning and prized its wisdom.… (mais)

Johnson provides a good overview of the development of the Jewish and Christian bibles, providing good scholarship about the various manuscripts, the lack of original sources, disputes over the best texts, the many translations and the difficulty of translation, and many of the personalities involved. As a Roman Catholic, his perspective may have aspects that Protestants, especially fundamental ones (or atheists for that matter) may take exception to, but overall, he does a good job of presenting an unbiased history of the bible's development. He is also blunt about the King James Bible: it is a great work of literature, but not the best translation, since it relied on later manuscripts (several centuries older than the earliest manuscripts.) If you are interested in the story of Christianity, I certainly recommend this course. It provides a slightly different shading perhaps, but it mainly reinforces other courses and books, such as John Barton's history of the bible or Diarmaid McCulloch's history of Christianity. Johnson is a smooth, superior lecturer. ( )

Discover the story of the world's most consistently best-selling book, which came into being through a remarkable and complicated process. In 24 stimulating lectures, Professor Johnson investigates the many forms the Bible has taken and the ways history, scholarship, and technology have helped shape this great tradition, as well as the Bible's powerful influence on human history and culture. The Bible has long served as a powerful force, both reflecting and shaping the cultures that have read and embraced it. Over the centuries, perceptions of the Bible have inspired men and women and shaped nations; they've sent nations to war and martyrs to their deaths. The struggle of translation has been a battleground for controlling the meaning of sacred text, a struggle that reached its peak during the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. From the early history of the New Testament, when Hebrew and Greek sources built a new story on the foundation of the ancient Jewish tradition, to the world-changing invention of the printing press, a revolutionary innovation that contributed to the Protestant Reformation, this enthralling story gives you a deep appreciation for the tremendous power of this astonishing book - one that has endured through centuries and touched the lives of countless millions.
