An engaging and hilarious collection that encourages readers to tackle those strange, awkward, worrying, yet endlessly compelling passages of the Bible.
The Bible is full of not-so-precious moments, from murder and mayhem, to sex and slavery. Now, an incredible cast of contributors tackles the parts of the Bible that most excite, frustrate, or comfort, like:
- What the heck is the book of Revelation really about? (The answer will surprise you.)
- How do we come to grips with the Bible's troubling (or seemingly troubling) passages about the role of women?
- Why did the artist of the oldest known picture of Jesus intentionally paint him with a wonky eye – and what does it tell us about beauty?
Disquiet Time was written by and for Bible-loving Christians, agnostics, skeptics, none-of-the-aboves, and people who aren't afraid to dig deep spiritually, ask hard questions, and have some fun along the way.
