What's the deal with this Bible book anyway?

5 stars

This is a great book for (among others) people who never had much exposure to the Bible growing up. Where did it come from? What languages was it written in? Is it one thing or several? How do different religions and sub-religions use it? What does it actually say and what do people say it says?
