Re: TARGET:GEN:Bible in your library?

[Mark Williams <mark_williams@EEE.ORG>]

Julia:

Yes, we do--several versions, including one with the Apocrypha.  This is a
high school library.  We also have the Book of Mormon, the I Ching, the
Koran, some Taoist, Hindu, and Sikh texts, among others.  Religious
writings are a part of a people's history, and are studied in relation to
the history of a nation, people, or region.

To throw more fuel on the fire <G>, we have copies of The Prince, the
Communist Manifesto, Das Kapital, and Mein Kampf; and for the same
reasons....they are a part of history, and are studied in relation to a
particular period in history, or a particular nation's history, or the
development of a philosophical or economic school of thought.
