Welcoming the Stranger: How the Bible Can Help us Understand Denise Cottrell Boyce What does the Bible have to say about xenophobia? How can we contribute to the rebuilding of a world of peace in our lives and local communities today? Welcoming the Stranger is part of the all-new series, How the Bible can Help us Understand. These short books are aimed at ordinary people committed in their faith and wanting to live Christianly, but not brought up in a Bible-studying tradition. They prompt intelligent thought, reflection and guidance on issues that really matter to people, using illustrations from life and popular culture as well as studies of Bible passages. They are not 'The Bible has all the answers', but 'How can the Bible contribute to my understanding?'.
The Badly Behaved Bible: Thinking Again About the Story of Scripture 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.
