The Unauthorised Bible

This, the first volume of the series, is a selected set of revised versions of the scriptures of the ‘major’ established religions of the world: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaeo-Christianity, and Taoism, plus Classical Paganism, but with the notable exception of Islam, the omission of which, at least in its orthodox form, is fully explained in the justification. The opening chapter in this volume is, however, not a rewrite of the biblical book of that name, but is a complete fabrication of the author. All the texts been transliterated to conform, insofar as that is possible, with modern scientific understanding and a liberal, in its widest sense, political agenda, and hopefully to make them easier to read.
