"The Bible is a Catholic Book" by Jimmy Akin goes step-by-step through the Bible and explains, in Jimmy's logical and factual style, the languages and accompanying cultural developments to explain how the 'book' we refer to as 'The Bible' was developed. This book is not an explanation of the contents The Bible but a historical study of what we know, and don't know, about how The Bible evolved. Filled with facts and steeped with footnotes and professional references, the potential drawback to "The Bible is a Catholic Book" is the underlying assumption of some basic knowledge that a non-Christian, or for that matter, some Protestants, or even Catholics may not possess. With this consideration, even though some starting points may be a leap for the uninformed, in Jimmy's humble and patient style he lays out a clear and concise path from the beginning to the current forms of the documents we call 'The Bible'. [4/5]
