Testament

The Bible has had more influence upon Western civilization than any other book. So splendid are its phrases that many have taken them to be the unmediated word of god. Since its texts were gathered together the book has been venerated & enshrined, execrated & burned. But whether we are believers or not the Bible still remains our heritage. It's provided the West with a sense of the sacred & a sense of historical destiny. Testament describes the making of the Bible, the creation of both the Old & New Testaments, charting its survival thru the centuries of its life. This is a unique book: no other single volume tells the story of the Bible's journey from the ancient East to the heart of the modern West. Romer uses his experience of the worlds of art history & archeology to advantage as he unravels the story of the making & the use & misuse of the West's most influential book. With a sure touch he sets the historical scene & brings to life the Bible's creators.
