The reason is the same as today, most cannot hear, because of their doctrines of men.

What we write creates images of doctrine when concerning religion. To say it's not a doctrinal paper is partly correct but parables are doctrinal as in what JESUS did! The doctrine that is spewed from that book is heretical and mocks God and his righteousness. It creates a false view of God's law and the NT teachings. HERECTICAL? You better believe it!
Also that reading Bible is pathetic and in many ways teaches incorrect usage of God's Word. It's not even a translation and at that not really even a paraphrase.
