Views of the Biblical World

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I love learning more about the Bible, especially from scholars who study the history and theology of it. As it turns out, this article is about a specific book titled, "Views of the Biblical World".

Evaluate the article
The lead was good, the article started by giving a description of what the article was about and its main subject. It also described who the authors were and the time that the book was popular and how it became a series.

The content is all related to the topic and has been updated. Since the article is very short, there is not much content. I feel as if there could have been more information. The article is informational and did not discuss whether the series is "good or bad", leaving out any bias or personal preference. The article also does not have a call to action, or a persuasive measure to get someone to purchase anything.

There were only three sources at the bottom, when there could have been plenty more. I believe there was some paraphrasing that should have been cited. There were some names tagged and linked, leading to another article specifically about that person.

The article is well written and very educational, there are only a few dates listed in the text making it easier to read and understand. Considering the article is extremely short, it's a very quick read as well. I did not see any grammatical errors or misspellings.

There are no images, and no Talk page discussion. The Talk page had asked me to start the discussion. The article was last edited in 2020, so I'm assuming no one has tried to edit the page since.

Overall, I am disappointed the article is not what I thought it was going to be, but that was just user error. It was great information on a series of books I might be interested in. The article should have been longer, I think more research could have gone into this article. More research would have also lead to more sources, making the article more credible.
