Summary:
"The author of
How
the Bible Actually Works and The Bible Tells Me So explains
how
our model of
God
and
faith
must evolve as our understanding of the world deepens -- just as the Bible describes it should. Life throws us “curve balls” -- from devastating personal losses to world tragedies. These events often leave us doubting
God
, the Bible, and our
faith
. But instead of pushing away our reservations, we should embrace them, Peter Enns argues. A leading biblical scholar and Christian mentor, Enns has
never
been afraid to question the Bible or Christian beliefs. Such thoughtful inquisitiveness, he argues, is part of God’s plan. He wants us to question, because doing so actually leads to a stronger, lasting
faith
. By reframing
how
we see these events, we allow ourselves to see
how
the Bible itself showcases this very process and that “treating curve balls as the enemy” is not only counterproductive but thwarts God’s goal of helping us become mature and wise. Enns shares a number of curve balls he’s encountered in his own life and the questions he has pondered. Does
God
care about the millions of people who
never
heard the gospel? Could
I
relate to a
God
who has created a universe this big? If
God
is so relatable, constant, and caring,
how
do we explain quantum physics? He reveals
how
particular biblical passages have helped him find wisdom, and
how
they can do the same for us. As
Curveball
persuasively shows,
God
is
bigger
and more mysterious than anyone’s expectations. We need a
faith
that can grow just as deeply. "--Publisher.
