Notes:

  • Genesis — Wisdom — Parables — Concord — Lamentations — Consolations — Sages — Songs — Histories — Proverbs — The lawgiver — Acts — Epistles — The good.
  • Includes bibliographical references and index.
  • … Grayling has distilled the work of hundreds of authors and more than one thousand texts using the same techniques … that produced the holy books of the Judeo-Christian and Islamic religions. Their wit and advice, human stories, tragedies and yearnings, love and consolations are shaped into fourteen constituent parts that recall the Bible in structure: Genesis, Wisdom, Parables, Concord, Lamentations, Consolations, Sages, Songs, Histories, Proverbs, The Lawgiver, Acts, Epistles, and The Good … For a secular age in which many find that religion no longer speaks to them, ‘The Good Book’ is a literary tour de force … –Jacket.
