The Good Book,,,I want it

I just added this book to my wish list (which keeps growing instead of getting smaller). If anything it will be a great resource. But I am curious as to how Grayling organized this work.

As to the philosophy behind it:
I noticed there is quite a contrast between those philosophies that derive from religious inspiration and those that derive from a humanist perspective,,,When you contrast those philosophies with the great young religions,,,I saw the humanist-derived ethical outlooks tended to take their start from the most generous view of human nature, and the belief that human life is very short, and we must understand how to make good lives for ourselves,,,[w]hereas religious systems premise themselves on relationships between man and deity.
