Author

David Tacey reveals the mystery of biblical language in a voice that is accessible, 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!

Bible reading for everyone – that’s what this book offers! It will speak to those who already read the Bible but find themselves asking why; and to those who don’t read the Bible but would like to if only it weren’t so strange. Courteous, humorous, and serious at the same time, this is ideal for individual use or in study or book groups.
