BOOK EXCERPT:
How the billionaire owners of Hobby Lobby are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to make America a “Bible nation” The Greens of Oklahoma City—the billionaire owners of the Hobby Lobby chain of craft stores—are spending hundreds of millions of dollars in an ambitious effort to increase the Bible’s influence on American society. In Bible Nation, Candida Moss and Joel Baden provide the first in-depth investigative account of the Greens’ sweeping Bible projects. Moss and Baden tell the story of the Greens’ efforts to place a Bible curriculum in public schools; their rapid acquisition of an unparalleled collection of biblical antiquities; their creation of a closely controlled group of scholars to study and promote the collection; and their construction of a $500 million Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. Revealing how all these initiatives promote a very particular set of beliefs about the Bible, the book raises serious questions about the trade in biblical antiquities, the integrity of academic research, and the place of private belief in public life.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This book represents the first monograph-length study of the relationship between Protestant Bible translation and the development of Mandarin from a lingua franca into the national language of China. Drawing on both published and unpublished sources, this book looks into the translation, publication, circulation and use of the Mandarin Bible in late Qing and Republican China, and sets out how the Mandarin Bible contributed to the standardization and enrichment of Mandarin. It also illustrates that the Mandarin Union Version, published in 1919, was involved in promoting Mandarin as not only the standard medium of communication but also a marker of national identity among the Chinese people, thus playing a role in the nation-building of modern China.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This book explores Bible reliability in terms of Egyptian history. It also includes the value of the Law provided from God through Moses in terms of environmental and medical science. In the past, critics have claimed that the Bible is inaccurate in matching Egyptian history. Now, there is strong evidence the Egyptian history timeline needs to be revised. With this revised dating of the Egyptian 12th Dynasty, Bible information matches well with Egyptian history from Abraham to Moses. The Law matches well with modern medical science for control of infectious diseases. The Law also gives instructions for dealing with the management of mildew that too matches modern technology. The instructions for disposal of human waste match recommendations from modern science for primitive conditions.
