Skeptics scoff at it. Atheists denounce it. Agnostics question it. Scientists debunk it. Religion debates it. The faithful value it. Yet, all agree it has an impact on the world. The Bible.
There are many books in the world ranging from fiction to non-fiction. There are autobiographies of great men and women, wonderful bestselling fictional tales from Shakespeare to "Harry Potter," from "50 Shades of Gray" to "Lord of the Rings."
However, the Holy Bible continues to be sold more than any other book on the planet. The Bible is still the most widely published and distributed book in the world. It continues to be the world’s bestselling book, with billions being sold.
It is a book hard to ignore. It is filled with riveting stories about life and death, tragedy and triumph, war and peace, love and hate, fear and courage, sadness and joy, darkness and light, good and evil, heaven and hell, God and Satan, destruction and salvation; sin and redemption. It is a book that is never short on topics addressing our human existence.

when it becomes irrelevant enough, it will then re-assert itself, and a pendulum will swing in the direction of making it relevant BIG TIME, once again.
only a complete folking idiot would pose such blaphemy
....Yet it is still the #1 best selling book of all time.
I wonder if the family and friends of the victims of the massacre in Kenya wished the attackers were Bible thumpers.
Strange piece for the foxes to tackle. They as much as any are front and center in tempting God. Sodomy still has the same outcome as it did when it was first denounced by God Himself. And then Christ said Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
This modern age of liberalism, has deceived itself ‘they can do things better’.
This article reminds me of the “news stories’ we used to make up as knobs at the Citadel. We were supposed to read a newspaper every day and relate stories at mess for the entertainment of upper classemen and learn how to carry on a proper dinner conversation. Freshman didn’t have time to read a paper so we’d often just pull something out of the air to talk about. Looks like the author had a dead line and needed to do the same.
If only it were also the most read book. Far too many sit collecting dust...
It’s always amazing and sad to see that even many who profess to love the Bible, do not even capitalize the word.
I'm guessing that's a function of poor education rather than disrespect; how many students in government schools learn capitalization rules of proper nouns these days?
YES!
It is, always has been, and will always be.
Everyone will know this 100 years from now.
We were looking at it in SS class yesterday; reading the book, The Transforming Word, by Pastor Tony Evans. (Excellent series, BTW)
Scientists “debunked” the Bible? When did that happen?
Amen.
Some bozo posted a thread asking whats bad about Jesus on a forum SOMEWHERE on the internet.
I considered educating the poor soul, but realized that to take the bait would be throwing pearls before swine
True, but it’s not A bible, it’s THE Bible. Even many supposedly educated writers do not seem to know the difference.
That’s the first clue of sincerity for me.
... muslim scientists and “athiests”
Lets see if we can find one Nobel award given to a muslim for a hard science.
From all the billions they have to choose from, youda thunk they could have generated one!
What failures!
Actually the article is very good. If someone wanted to at least get people to look at the Bible seriously it’s a start.
The author is an ordained minister and Gospel singer, not that that actually means anything these days.
