The book of God : a response to the Bible
Gabriel Josipovici (Author)
"Is the Bible one book or a collection of writings? If it is a book, does it stand as a coherent piece of literature? In this book, Gabriel Josipovici answers these questions, drawing on a deep knowledge and appreciation of medieval and modern art and literature and on his personal understanding of the possibilities of narrative."--Cover, p.4
