### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ fascinating, funny, informative and extremely interesting, but slightly shallow in a few places.
*by X***I on 30 November 2015*

It is a long time since I have come across a book that is so highly informative and at the same time extremely readable. As well as clearly outlining the broader history of the Bible, some absolutely fascinating little gems are highlighted. For example, it has been generally believed that Moses had a stammer, because he described himself as "heavy of speech". The authors, however, point out that it is more likely that he spoke Hebrew with a heavy Egyptian accent, as Egyptian, not Hebrew, would have been his first language. However, in several places I do not feel they think situations through far enough. For example, when Joseph meets his brothers in Egypt, he speaks to them through an interpreter, and this is dismissed as him simply trying to be clever and disguise himself. I am an English national, but when I came back to England after four months studying in France, my English was shaky for the first few days. It doesn't seem to occur to the authors that having been in Egypt for some twenty years, Joseph would almost certainly have forgotten most of his Hebrew? Likewise, with the awful business of Lot offering his daughters to the Sodomites in order to protect the strangers in his house. The authors can't see any reasoning behind his offer. Two possibilities strike me straightaway. Firstly, it is obvious that the situation was getting violent. If Lot didn't let the Sodomites have his guests, it seems likely that they would have forced their way into the house, taken the guests anyway, probably raping the daughters at the same time. But there is an alternative possibility. Most societies have certain taboos - some of which sometimes seem quite surprising when seen in conjunction with other actions which are permissible within that same society. Raping women taken in war was seen as normal behaviour by all sorts of different cultures at that time. But raping your neighbour's virgin daughters - vulnerable women, as opposed to men who presumably stood some chance of defending themselves - may well have been seen, even by the Sodomites, as beyond the pale. By offering the Sodomites his daughters, Lot may have been trying the same tactics as Pilate tried when offering the Jews the choice of freeing Barabbas or Jesus. He may have been trying to get them to stop and think about what they were trying to do, instead of being governed by their emotions. But this line of thinking doesn't seem to have occurred to the authors. Apart from this sort of thing, however, The Bible for Dummies is a terrific book, and I would highly recommend it to anybody wanting a greater understanding of the Bible.
