Should have seen it coming.

Regnery's Politically Incorrect Guide to the Bible

In the beginning, the Bible triggered a revolution in human thought and later established Western civilization's moral and philosophical foundation. Many people though-from authors to pundits-mock it for their own purposes and political agendas. However, the Bible remains the bestselling book of all time,believed by nearly two billion people (Christians and Jews) to be divinely inspired. In his hard-hitting new book, The Politically Incorrect Guide to The Bible, author Robert J. Hutchinson details the facts behind the numerous truths the anti-religious secularists don't want you to know about, including:

•Recent archaeological discoveries confirm the historical accuracy of many Bible stories
•The Bible made modern science possible (which is why it started in the Middle Ages)
•Biblical laws paved the way for democracy and limited government
•The Bible promotes human freedom
•The enemies of the Bible are enemies of true reason and tolerance.

In this new installment in the bestselling P.I.G. series, Hutchinson silences the secularists and atheists with historical evidence, undeniable facts, and insightful revelations-proving why the Bible is still the bestselling book of all time-and so much more.

I've obtained a copy. I'll report back if I can stomach reading it.

"•Recent archaeological discoveries confirm the historical accuracy of many Bible stories"

Being an archaeologist, (but not a biblical one), I feel confident in saying "so what?!" I also have a good idea what archaeological evidence can demonstrate, and what it cannot. I have no doubt that the bible has SOME genuine history in it. But most importantly, archaeological evidence cannot confirm supernatural events. Which should be obvious to anybody with half a brain.


•Biblical laws paved the way for democracy and limited government
•The Bible promotes human freedom


I would really like to hear an explanation of these assertions. I mean after all, what took so long?

I skimmed it last night. Basic gist is that anything good man has ever done its because of the Bible. Without the Bible society turns into Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia. Morality and science are possible because of the Bible. And America is a Biblical nation ... as evidenced by the scattered quotes from American figures meant to show they worshipped the Bible.

Bleh.

Hmm. Both Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia grew out of Christian societies steeped in the Bible. Stalin, in fact, was educated in a seminary. He had a good voice and was in the choir.

According to the latest research.
