The Big Event G M Jim Haney

The Big Event: Did Christianity Create the Bible or Did the Bible Create Christianity?

by G. M. "Jim" Haney




Simply, this book is about the Bible. It asks the question: Did Christianity create the Bible OR Did the Bible create Christianity?




Author G. M. Haney has always sought logical, reasonable answers. He wrote this book for readers like him who are looking for an objective view of what the Bible is trying to tell us. This work attempts to explain the origins of the New Testament writings and the importance of the most significant event in mankind's history, the "Big Event" Christ's resurrection.




Haney hopes this work will increase readers' awareness of the importance of spending time thinking about their relationship to God, as it is an issue that cannot be ignored.
