How We Got The Bible by Neil R. Lightfoot was an excellent introduction to the process by which the Bible has come down to us. Certainly a most important book for preachers and teachers but just as important for Christians in general. We all should have, at least, a basic understanding of how we got the Bible. This book is more than just a simple discussion of how God inspired the authors to write down his words. It's a deeper discussion of the many different processes involved through history that guarantees the text we have is reliable. For example the author discusses the different languages that were used in the writing of the inspired word but he also discusses the materials that were used at first to write down these inspired words
