<transcy>The Word of Truth (La Bible, ce qu'elle est, ce qu'elle dit) </transcy>
Presentation
The Bible is the greatest “bestseller” of all time. Even today, in a so-called “post-Christian” generation, it is the most translated book in the world. Although from the highest Antiquity, she refuses to let herself die or even go out of fashion. In fact, it harbors such vitality that it elicits the most intense and violent reactions.
But, paradoxically, the Bible remains a great unknown for many, even among those who claim it. Does everyone who talks about the Bible really and intimately know it?
Where does it come from? What is its identity, its purpose, its message? So many simple and fundamental questions about which many are vague. Yet the Bible is clear and precise.
That's why, Robert Sheehan is simply examining the questions that arise about it. It seeks to enlighten the reader on the origin and status of the Bible, on its completeness and perfection. Among other things, he clearly addresses the question of original texts, translations, the biblical canon, and the testimony of the Church. Both the initiate and the neophyte will gain from reading this book, as they will be directed to the Author of the Bible and called to respond to his Word.
