Summary "The Bible: What It Is!" by Charles Bradlaugh is a critical examination written in the late 19th century. The text delves into the contents and translations of the Bible, focusing primarily on the narratives from Genesis to Revelations, and it aims to scrutinize the authenticity and origins of various biblical accounts, particularly those found in the Old Testament. Bradlaugh takes an analytical approach, calling into question the traditional interpretations and providing a perspective that contrasts with religious orthodoxy. The opening of the work introduces the Bible and its divisions while questioning the historical authorship of significant sections, attributing them to Moses, and challenging conventional beliefs about the translation and transmission of these texts. Bradlaugh highlights various translations through history, discusses the implications of Hebrew's role in scripture, and raises doubts about the events described in Genesis, from the creation story to the narratives of figures like Noah and Abraham. He intends to contrast scientific understanding with the biblical account, prompting readers to reconsider the relationship between faith and reason, illustrating these themes through detailed analysis and references to other scholarly critiques.
