Description of  What Is the Bible?: How an Ancient Library of Poems, Letters, and Stories Can Transform the Way You Think

Rob addresses the concerns of all those who see the Bible as Gods Word but are troubled by the ethical dilemmas, errors, and inconsistencies in Scripture. With What Is the Bible?, he recaptures the Good Books magic and reaffirms its power and inspiration to shape and inspire our lives today. Rob takes us deep into actual passages to reveal the humanity behind the Scriptures. You cannot get to the holy without going through the human, Rob tells us. When considering a passage, we shouldnt ask "Why did God say . . .?" To get to the heart of the Bibles meaning, we should be asking: "Whats the story thats unfolding here and why did people find it important to tell it? What was it that moved them to record these words? What was happening in the world at that time? What does this passage/story/poem/verse/book tell us about how people understood who they were and who God was at that time?" In asking these questions, Rob goes beyond the one-dimensional question of "is it true?" to reveal the Bibles authentic transformative power.
