Human history shows us that the Bible is truly the Word of God. Language and history are related, so by studying both, we can learn what really happened in history and see that the Bible is true. The Secret of the World offers a detailed etymological exploration of the Bible, investigating translations in a number of different languages: Latin, Hebrew, Arabic, German, English, Korean, and more. In the end, author Paul Kyu Kim is able to reveal the truth of the biblical record, also analyzing the origins of Islam and Buddhism, the relationship between organic chemicals and natural disasters, and the questions surrounding Yeon Gaesomun and King Jangsu. Ultimately, the Bible has an intimate relationship with real human life and history. By looking closely at this relationship, we can not only learn more about ourselves and our history-we can learn more about God and his plan for humankind.
