"Well of course it does!", or perhaps you don't agree? This is really a Bible Study work book, but we have it as an assigned text and have been loaned a copy. Each chapter is followed by a series of questions that can be used for reflection or discussion, then some Bible passages for meditation. Following this there is some summary text. The book starts with a fresh perspective which sets the Christian faith against the background of the post modern world that we live in. Through each of the ten chapters we get a different view, or emphasis of the Bible. Some will speak more clearly to you than others. Some you might even disagree with, but that's really what the book is for - making (or should I say helping) us think - about the Bible in our setting. The way I read this book is not ideal, but even so I believe it is a useful resource, and invaluable if you are in a Bible Study group where the members are prepared to do some ground work before the meeting.
I liked it so much, I'm going to buy my own copy!"
"A short and compelling book presenting an approach to understanding the themes of the Bible, by focusing on its "primal narratives" -- the oldest and most central stories of each testament -- and understanding other parts of the Bible as commentaries on those narratives."
