Description
Book SynopsisA concise account of the whole biblical narrative and what it means—as well as the beliefs and lifestyle it inspires—for those observing Christianity from the outside, especially those who think there are good reasons not to believe.
A Doubter''s Guide to the Bible charts a biblical roadmap from the story of creation to the fulfillment of creation, answering many of the most frequently asked questions along the way:
- How can we read the creation account in Genesis in light of modern science?
- How should Old Testament law be understood when it appears inconsistent and irrelevant?
- Isn''t the story of Jesus'' birth a little far-fetched?
- What is the Gospel? Why are there four accounts of the same thing, and what are they really saying?
John Dickson provides a readable and inviting Bible primer for anyone interested in informing themselves about the most widely read book in the history of humanity.
