Don't Know Much About the Bible

Don't Know Much About the Bible
495p

Some odd things in here. One was people having the same name. Yeah, intermarriage can mean it was the same people in different capacities or family names so it's different people.
Haven't found the Ark? If it was made of wood, then duh.
I think it's absurd to use BCE and CE instead of BC and AD in a book about the Bible. (In general, it's only slightly less absurd)
Despite those, interesting book.
8/10
