Bible is put into the shelf for all ages.

a) Children and most adult would not know "聖經的歷史與文化背景"

b) Children and most adult would not have a study in Hermeneutics

Can we presuppose the viewpoint of the viewer?  He/She could well be a Hindu!

When you read the adult page of the newspaper, or pronography, and you think it obscene, is it the duty of the reader to seek sex expert for the matter?

Least you forget, bible can also be sold alone (such as in the hotel, or Ebay, or Amazon).
  
How many church member can speak fluent Hebrew to know "聖經的歷史與文化背景"?
How many church member can speak fluent Hebrew to learn the associated field in Hermeneutics?

Anyway, is there anthropology bookss from SCIENCE besides the Bible to learn about the FACTUAL basis of "聖經的歷史與文化背景"?

Why?  You don't realize the bible we read today is already a TRANSLATED version with footnotes and stuff?

Richard Dawkins has wrote something similiar to the topic in The Independent

http://richarddawkins.net/article,1647,Do-you-have-to-read-up-on-leprechology-before-disbelieving-in-them,Richard-Dawkins-The-Independent#77608

The key here is "Would you need to read learned volumes on Leprechology before disbelieving in leprechauns?"

The idea is also cleverly phrased in The Courtier's Reply
