DOI: 10.1558/equinox.46868

Blurb:

There is no one book called the Bible. Jews and Christians have different Bibles, which consist of different books, orders, and most importantly, were composed in different languages and at different times. Each community may translate and interpret biblical passages differently and disagree about the theology in biblical stories.
