The Bible is the most influential book in human history. Yet few readers have ever been told the full story of how it came to be.
From Scroll to Scripture: A Complete History of the Bible traces the Bible from its ancient Near Eastern origins through its composition, canonization, transmission, translation, and interpretation across four thousand years of history. Written for curious readers, students, scholars, and believers alike, it presents a comprehensive, evidence-based exploration of the world's most studied collection of writings — scholarly without being inaccessible, honest without being hostile, and deeply committed to letting the sources speak for themselves.
Inside, you'll explore:
- The Mesopotamian flood traditions and other ancient texts that predate the Hebrew Bible.
- The multiple authors, editors, and sources behind the Pentateuch and what modern scholarship has uncovered about its composition.
- The goddess Asherah, the divine council, and the religious world of ancient Israel.
- The Dead Sea Scrolls and what they reveal about the preservation and development of the biblical text.
- The Council of Nicaea, the formation of the biblical canon, and what history actually records.
- Textual variants, disputed passages, and why some verses appear in certain Bibles but not in the oldest surviving manuscripts.
- How Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, and Ethiopian Christians came to recognize different biblical canons.
- The history of Bible translation and what is gained — and sometimes lost — when ancient Hebrew and Greek are rendered into English.
- The many ways the Bible has been interpreted through historical, literary, feminist, liberation, mystical, psychological, and consciousness-centered approaches.
Along the way, this book wrestles with the questions many readers have quietly carried for years:
Who wrote the Bible — and how do we know?
What evidence exists for the people, places, and events it describes?
What did scribes change, preserve, or leave behind?
Why were some books included while others were excluded?
How has history shaped the Bible we hold today?
Rather than telling readers what to believe, From Scroll to Scripture equips them to engage the Bible with historical awareness, literary insight, intellectual honesty, and a deeper appreciation for the remarkable journey these writings have taken across the centuries.
Whether you are questioning long-held assumptions, rediscovering your faith, studying biblical history, or simply seeking to understand one of humanity's most influential books, this volume invites you to examine the evidence, trace the history, and continue the conversation for yourself.
