The Bible 5 stars worthy Holy Book Review

The Bible 5 stars worthy Holy Book Review

After much thinking, I decided to write a bit about a review about the Bible. I will not spend my time simply preaching to you. I wish to bring the Bible to a modern understanding. The first thing I want to mention is the Introduction to the Bible. In my Latin American Bible begins with a bit of an introduction.

It gives you a brief overview of the history of the Bible. It makes certain that you understand that the Bible did not fall out of the sky. It is a book written by men. It has been collected and composed throughout the centuries. Another interesting detail is the overview on Genesis. The writer of this Bible wants you to understand that Genesis is simply metaphors.

The same way that the Greeks had their creation myth, we took have our own. This Bible intro admits to Darwin’s theory of Evolution. The author wanted to reiterate that 7 days for God are different than 7 days for men.  Think about it, seven days for god went from the big bang to the birth of man.

Speaking of the big bang, let us not forget that God’s first creation was light. It can be interpreted as the light shot out of the big bang. I am getting a bit ahead of myself. Long story short, the Catholic Church now accepts Darwinian Theory of evolution.

The last interesting fact is about the book of Genesis. It is placed at the beginning for of the Bible for mystical reasons. However, the book was written during the reign of Solomon. It had not one, but several authors. The stories of Abraham were written by a single author. He compiled the stories from oral tradition and legends.  Also, some additional paragraphs were added when the Israelites returned from their exile in Babylon.

Aside from speaking of the Bible, this book has an apologetic section. Here the writer spoke in a roundabout way about the Coquistadors. They praised their missionaries, but spoke baldy of the Conquistadors. This book also spoke well of Martin Luther. He praised his initiative at translating the Bible to the Vernacular language.It also apologized for some of their lost black sheep. We all know what I speak of. It is best not to dwell on evil people. Like we all know, the devil can be found everywhere.

Aside from that, this book mentions Catholic missions to communist countries. Thanks to the communist, the Catholics received a new wave of martyrs who died for their religion. Modern day people think that the Catholic Church is stiff and antiquated. However, it would never have survived if it did not adapt to the changing times. Think about it, they survived the Romans, the Barbarian Invasion, Islam, Protestantism, the Enlightenment, the industrial Revolution, Communism, and the Digital Age. 

The Church had always been willing to change, when pressed enough. We simply must be patient. For this reason, after everything, I have not lost my faith in the teachings of the Catholic Church. As my Catholic priest once said, the church is a reflection of society. If society changes so too will the Catholic Church. In any case, the Bible is still a 5 stars worthy book.
