Description - The Good Book by Peter J Gomes


Why are so many intelligent and compassionate people embarrassed to say they find wisdom and comfort in the Bible And how as a society did we come to cede biblical interpretation to those who would use the Bible as a tool for division and exclusion In this groundbreaking book, Peter J. Gomes shows how to read the Bible and what it says about the topics that concern us all, including joy, suffering, evil, and goodness. He also explains what the Bible really says about women, gays and lesbians, and people of color. With compassion, humor, and insight, he gives readers the tools and understanding they need to make the ancient wisdom of the Bible a dynamic part of their modern lives.
