Good Book:
the bizarre, hilarious, disturbing, marvelous, and inspiring things
I learned when I read every single word of the bible
by David Plotz
From the
Publisher
At a time when wars are fought over scriptural interpretation, when
the influence of religion on American politics has never been greater,
when many Americans still believe in the Bible's literal truth, it has
never been more important to get to know the Bible. Good Bookis what
happens when a regular guy—an average Job—actually reads the
book on which his religion, his culture, and his world are based. Along
the way, he grapples with the most profound theological questions: How
many commandments do we actually need? Does God prefer obedience or
good deeds? And the most unexpected ones: Why are so many women in the
Bible prostitutes? Why does God love bald men so much? Is Samson really
that stupid?
Good
Book is an irreverent, enthralling journey through the world's most
important work of literature.
