About
The Skeptic's Annotated Bible is a harsh criticism of the Bible written by Steve Wells. Wells spent some 20 years researching the Bible, Qur'an, and Book of Mormon to generate his Skeptic's Annotated Bible. It analyses the King James Version of the Bible and is particularly useful against King James only-fundamentalists. Steve Wells analyzes a variety of issues that non-Christians and thinking Christians often find untenable with the more common presentation of the Bible as literal truth, and of the Bible and God as "good and peaceful." As with other annotations, it provides ongoing commentary about what passages mean, what their context is, and why they are there.
