Summary:
If the
Bible
isn't a science book or an instruction manual, then what is it? What do people mean when they say the
Bible
is
inspired
? When Rachel Held Evans found herself asking these questions, she began a quest to better understand what the
Bible
is and how it is meant to be read. What she discovered changed her--and it will change you too. Drawing on the best in recent scholarship and using her well-honed literary expertise, Evans examines some of our favorite
Bible
stories and possible interpretations, retelling them through memoir, original poetry, short stories, soliloquies, and even a short screenplay. Undaunted by the
Bible
's most difficult passages, Evans wrestles through the process of doubting, imagining, and debating Scripture's mysteries. The
Bible
, she discovers, is not a static work but is a living, breathing, captivating, and confounding book that is able to equip us to join God's
loving
and redemptive work in the world.
