The American Patriot Bible is a Bestseller!

I gave my first impressions of this Bible last year.  You can probably guess my viewpoint from the title:  Another Reason to Hate Study Bibles.

Today John Byron of The Biblical World comments on the American Patriot Bible reaching bestseller status on Amazon.com.  With the number of Americans these days who are effectively equating being a good American patriot with being a good Christian, this is not entirely surprising.

Byron is quite correct when he says that “… Americanizing makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to use it be critical of ourselves. In the end the Bible will no longer be ‘God’s word to us’ but ‘God’s word about us.'”
