I’ll tell you where it shouldnt be: school, courts

Definitely not history section, instead, religion section.

I happened to have bought a dual language international version from book store by the cost of 15 meals.

I say it belongs in the garbage. Firstly, morally it does not help anybody and historically it is also not of much use since there are so many contradictions and mistakes in it.

If I was forced to put it somewhere in a library I would put it on the rack for mythology where all other old gods have died peaceful deaths and their supporters have stopped irritating the rest of the world.

The Bible, fortunately in Roman Catholic Puerto Rico under the supervision of Protestant United States is in the Religion section in Borders here in Mayaguez Mall. In all American stores run by Puerto Ricans the Bible is highly respected in both languages. Even Walmart has a section for Bibles only with other books of inspiration. The Bible is found easily here in Walgreens, Amals.

As you probably know the Bible consists of two sections. The Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old was from the Jewish texts that have been handed down over the millennia. The New Testament is historic documentation of the life of Jesus. It is made up of scripts from various sources and compiled into a single book. Some were written by the followers of Jesus and are therefore classed as eyewitness testament. There are many other people in history that we only know about because of written references. The New Testament from a historical point of view is no different to the others.

The Bible is a historical document, and relates both the history of the Israelites, and the early Christians and their Founder, Jesus Christ. Most of what it relates is substantiated by other non-Jewish, or non-Christian sources.

On the other hand, the Bible is not to be treated as history in the sense of a chronological account of the world from Day 1. To do that is to expect too much.

However, you don’t expect too much from the Bible. You expect nothing, and so that is probably what you will get.

The Bible should be with the best sellers of all time under fiction ! Not even Harry Potter comes close !

Yes, the history section is not the place to put the bible. It should be placed either in ‘fiction’, or in ‘mythology’.

both. it belongs anywheres that there could possibly be a christian in need.

it belongs in a bookshop, library, and in the church o_O
