The Book of the People by A N Wilson
From one of our leading social and cultural historians comes a dazzling and original exploration of how, and why, we should still be reading the Bible, even if we no longer believe.
Believe it or not, this is a work of genius * The Times *
[Wilson's] voyage is a personal one, and it's well worth following because, apart from anything else, he has studied his subject with dedication and scholarship* The Oldie *
The Book of the People is a wide-ranging and richly stimulating enquiry into what the Bible is, what it means, how it works, and how hopelessly wrong the plodding fundamentalists of both atheist and religious persuasions are about it. * Sunday Times *
Wilson's delightful and unexpectedly moving book is characterised by intellectual humility * New Statesman *
Richly stimulating * The Sunday Times *
It's rare to want a book to be longer....thought-provoking and never less than entertaining * Sunday Telegraph *
An elegant and insightful book * The Independent *
[A] fascinating and superbly researched biography * Mail on Sunday *
An accessible guide to reading the Bible ... [A.N. Wilson] says difficult and challenging things in a light and easy way, and makes the reader feel that the Bible will be a delight rather than a burden to read. * Times Literary Supplement *
