That’s the title of the new study I’m working on, which is going to be a lot<\/b> of fun.  I’ve been learning a lot as I’ve been preparing.<\/p>\n

I just wanted to mention the book I recently finished reading – actually, in English and<\/i> Spanish.  My friend Antonio<\/a> recommended the Spanish edition when we were talking about the study, so I got the Spanish version and later got the English version.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it’s not a long book… but for it’s size it doesn’t do a bad job getting into the details of how the Bible comes to us through history.  I’m not exactly taking the same approach as the book in the study, but the book will certainly be a good quick reference.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the book is called (in English) How We Got the Bible<\/a><\/i> by Neil R. Lightfoot.  It’s also available for the Kindle<\/a>.  If you’re interested in the Spanish version, it’s called Comprendamos Como Se Formo la Biblia<\/a><\/i>.  It’s partly a translation of the English version by Lightfoot, but it’s actually totally revised to discuss how the Spanish<\/i> Bible came to us.  This revision comes from Dr. Juan Carlos Cevallos.<\/p>\n
