“How the Bible Was Invented” by M. M. Mangasarian is a critical examination of the origins and authorship of the Bible, presented as a lecture delivered in the early 20th century. This book serves as a polemic aimed at exposing the notion that the Bible is divinely inspired, proposing instead that it is a constructed work with various human influences and deceit. The author argues against the idea that the sacred text
was given by God, suggesting it is a product of human fabrication infused with mythology and misrepresentation. In the book, Mangasarian discusses several key points, including the historical context of the Bible's creation and the dishonest practices of early church figures. He brings forth examples from both the Old and New Testaments to highlight inconsistencies, alleged forgeries, and the manipulation of texts over centuries. The author critiques the tendency of believers to accept the Bible without scrutiny and emphasizes the need for open inquiry and criticism regarding religious texts. Ultimately, he advocates for a more honest and tolerant approach to understanding religion and encourages readers to question traditional dogmas that have, he claims, hindered intellectual progress.
