A Corrupted Bible?

Many people clam that the bible was by Moses. They claimed that one person wrote the age-old book about Christianity. But Friedman, on the other hand, argued against it in his book Who Wrote The Bible (Ch.5), by suggesting that the Bible was written by many people and suggested that it was written to support the reformation of the King Josiah. Many people nowadays believe this to be true. The reason being that many parts in the Holy Scripture seems to sway one’s ideology towards another ideology to support different views.
The Bible could be used as a very powerful tool and it is not surprising that it could have very well been used that way. Although it is true that the bible is very sacred and to challenge it would be quite difficult, it should be kept in mind that people wrote the book, so in turn it has their bias and their opinions written in it. We just have to keep in mind and analyze what we read so we wouldn’t be mislead to believe a biased opinion.
