No comparisons - except, perhaps, Pilgrim's Progress, by John Bunyan.

 No but you'll never guess which religion was quick to agree with the theory.

The Bible itself is not a book but rather a series of books, poems, songs, and letters compiled under one cover. This anthology is the best preserved ancient literature around and that alone makes its value high. Through this anthology, some of the greatest archaeological discoveries have been made among other things. Its value, in my opinion, cannot be measured. It has been the most debated anthology in existence and it remains as strongly regarded today than any other literature. What is most interesting about it, however, is the content and the fact that the anthology itself speaks of itself. There is no comparison to the Bible. No other piece of literature has effected the history of man like this has. Whether one views it in a positive light or a negative one, its ability to stand against all other known pieces of literature cannot be denied.

The bible is probably the largest compilation of incredible stories and ancient wisdom by very smart writers. If wikipedia became a book it'd be better, but it's not.

I'm not religious at all. I don't believe it was divinely inspired.

Technically, yes, as it is the most sold Book ever.

 So you would agree that Candle in The Wind is the best song ever. Volume of sales does not equal being the best. Look at the songs that make No.1.

The Bible is filled with rules which we are to live by. It tells of our salvation, and Jesus' love for us.

 It has also been compiled by man in favor of certain beliefs.

According to the canonical Gospels of the New Testament, (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), Judas betrayed Jesus to Jerusalem's Temple authorities, which handed Jesus over to the prefect Pontius Pilate, representative of the occupying Roman Empire, for crucifixion. The Gospel of Judas, on the other hand, portrays Judas in a very different perspective than do the Gospels of the New Testament, according to a preliminary translation made in early 2006 by the National Geographic Society: the Gospel of Judas appears to interpret Judas's act not as betrayal, but rather as an act of obedience to the instructions of Jesus. This assumption is taken on the basis that Jesus required a second agent to set in motion a course of events which he had preplanned in advance. In that sense Judas acted as a catalyst. The action of Judas, then, was a pivotal point which interconnected a series of simultaneous pre-orchestrated events. This portrayal seems to conform to a notion, current in some forms of Gnosticism, that the human form is a spiritual prison, and that Judas thus served Christ by helping to release Christ's spirit from its physical constraints. The action of Judas allowed him to do that which he could not do directly. The Gospel of Judas does not claim that the other disciples knew gnostic teachings. On the contrary, it asserts that the disciples had not learned the true Gospel, which Jesus taught only to Judas Iscariot.

 The bible was compiled by man. Man choose what books would and would not be included in the Bible therefore it is not the word of god but men translation of how he wanted god to be viewed.

Yes the Bible is the greatest book ever published but people do not live by it. It informs everyone how to live a good and decent life. GOD is great and there is not question or doubt about that. Therefore, the Bible is the greatest book of all times.

 If we examine the oldest known Bible to date, the "Sinai Bible" housed in the British Museum we find a staggering 14,800 differences from today's Bible and yet it still remains the word of God?

The bible is the best book ever because it teaches us morals and values teaches us how to live and love and without it we as a people would be a lost cause. If you don't believe me look around you God is everywhere. Look on American money "In God we trust" and our pledge to the flag and to GOD as well as many prayers before important meetings in the white house take place

 You believe that people are a lost cause without the bible? How does the rest of the world and all of the other religions get by without it then?

I love Superlatives! Sure the Bible is pretty darned (I'm watching my expletives) good. I especially like the parts about the meek shall inherit the earth, love your enemies, and letting your light shining before men. And Exodus was a pretty cool action story. The parting of the Red Sea reminds me of some of the really popular disaster movies that have come out in recent years - just in terms of the catastrophic size of the event when an antire army and it's Pharaoh are sunk under a collapsing ocean of water.

The bible is the youngest of the holy books and so therefore is less reliable.
