Another 2005 book is notable for distinctiveness and potential
importance: "The Bible and Its Influence," published by the
nonsectarian Bible Literacy Project of Fairfax, Va. This is a
textbook for public high school use, covering the Bible's contents
and its cultural, historical, literary and religious importance.
The contributors cleverly sidestep ideological feuds and represent
an amazing variety of affiliations. The question now is whether
schools will take the plunge and offer elective courses on
humanity's most influential -- if controversial -- book.
