Author

Conceived as a resource for religious educators, deacons, other ministers, and avid Christian readers, internationally respected Australian scholar, Francis J. Moloney offers an introduction to the New Testament that shows how to read it both faithfully and critically.

David Tacey reveals the mystery of biblical language in a voice that is open and public. The Bible is closer to poetry than history. Its images are meant to resonate in the soul and direct us toward transcendent realities.

Tacey shows that, with the aid of contemporary thought and depth psychology, we can re-read religious stories as metaphors of the spirit and the interior life. Moving beyond literal thinking could save religion from its greatest enemy, itself!
