A History of the Bible: The Book and Its Faiths door John Barton
The author states his main purpose as "exploring how the bible came into existence and how we might think about its elements today". This was accomplished, and very well. As an evangelical Christian I would probably have a few theological differences with the author, but as to his stated purpose of the book I have nothing but praise.
The Word: How We Translate the Bible—and Why It Matters makes for both daunting and rewarding reading. Barton's purpose here is to survey the kinds of decision-making translators have to do and offer chapters focused on the complexities of these. Go for literal accuracy or for an accuracy of spirit/feeling? Modify outdated usages, like the universal male, to offer a more inclusive reading experience?
Barton knows this subject in all its detail and complexity, which is what makes the experience both daunting and rewarding. If you don't have a degree in theology, you'll either have to spend a great deal of time doing research to be able to understand some of Barton's more specific or esoteric points or you'll have to be able to choose when to skim and when to sink into the book. I fall into the second category. I know my understanding of the specifics of The Word was only partial, but I also found that partial understanding very worthwhile.

A new edition of a survey of biblical criticism in which the author clarifies the kinds of questions about the meaning of texts that led scholars to develop the now traditional 'historical-critical' approaches. Also covers the latest developments in biblical study, including deconstruction and postmodernism. First published in 1984.
