The Badly Behaved Bible: Thinking Again About the Story of Scripture
PRE-ORDER: Publishes 29th July
Nick Page We're told that the Bible is beautiful, uplifting and a joy to read - but, while we know this is how we're supposed to feel about it, in reality many of us find the very opposite. On opening the Bible, we are faced with a multitude of problems, and we end up believing things about the Bible that the Bible never claims for itself. In his honest and accessible style, Nick Page urges us to re-discover a fresh look at the Bible as the scriptural bedrock of the Christian faith, to learn how we can undo unhelpful ways of reading it and demystifying its purpose and scope.
