It tells how the Bible was created, how it became a best-sellingbook and the effects it had on those who encountered it.Through a discussion of democracy and literacy, learning and communication this book shows how the Bible is, above all, about freedom and why Ghandi described Gods book as containing enough dynamite to blow all civilisation to pieces.
