The site looks for and labels (with cute little icons) any biblical reference to: It's also interesting to read the juicy violent and sexual bits that are so often ignored in church services and Bible school classes. Wells's criticism itself is most effective against those who see the Bible as both inerrant and non-contradictory. As with other annotations, it provides ongoing commentary about what passages mean, their context, and their function.īecause the work focuses only on the King James version, it has some limitations when arguing with people who use other translations, but those can usually be worked out by reading the given verses in a different translation at a site like Bible Gateway. Wells analyzes a variety of issues that non-Christians and thinking Christians often find untenable with the more common presentation of the Bible as literal truth, and of the Bible and God as 'good and peaceful'. It analyses the King James Version of the Bible and is particularly useful against King James only-fundamentalists. Wells spent some 20 years researching the Bible, the Qur'an, and the Book of Mormon to generate his Skeptic's Annotated Bible. The Skeptic's Annotated Bible (SAB), a harsh criticism of the Bible, is written by Steve Wells.
