Download The Good Book: A Humanist Bible AudioBook Free
Few, if any, thinkers and freelance writers today would have the creativeness, the breadth of knowledge, and the literary skill to get pregnant of a robust secular alternative to the Bible. But that is precisely what A. C. Grayling did, setting up a nonreligious bible attracted from the riches of secular books and beliefs in both American and Eastern practices, using the same techniques of editing, redaction, and version that produced the holy literature of the Judeo-Christian and Islamic religions. The Good Publication consciously takes its design and demonstration from the Bible, in the beauty of its words and its arrangement into brief chapters and verses, offering to the nonreligious seeker all the knowledge, insight, solace, ideas, and perspective of various secular humanist practices. Arranged in 12 main sections, The Good Publication opens with meditations on the foundation and progress of the world and human life in it, then devotes focus on the question of how life should be lived, how we relate to one another, and how vicissitudes are to be faced and joys appreciated. Inspired by the task of Herodotus and Lucretius, Confucius and Mencius, Seneca and Cicero, Montaigne, Bacon, therefore numerous others, The Good Publication will match its audacious purpose in every way.
