BADLY BEHAVED BIBLE Thinking Again About The Story Of Scripture
Nick Page
The Bible is known as the scriptural bedrock of the
Christian faith – it’s marvellous, it’s uplifting, it’s a joy
to read – but, while we know this is how we’re
supposed to feel about the Bible, in reality most of
us find the very opposite. On opening the Bible, we
are faced with a multitude of problems; from its
form and historical content to sheer size and often
distasteful stories, we can be left feeling
overwhelmed and disheartened by this ancient
book.
In his honest and accessible style, Nick Page urges
us to re-discover a fresh look at the Bible – to learn
how we can undo unhelpful ways of reading the
Bible and demystifying its purpose and scope. Nick
tackles what the Bible is and isn’t, how we can
critically read a sacred text and how we approach
the difficulties in its content.
