There has never been another book like the Bible. And there never will be. Only the Word of God is living and enduring (1 Peter 1:23) and is more precious than much pure gold (Psalm 19:10). Only the Bible is God-breathed (2 Timothy 3:16). Being divinely inspired, the Holy Bible deserves our full attention, reverent study, and diligent application. God has spoken, and His words have been written down, preserved, and translated for our eternal benefit. The Bible answers lifes most important questions, but it also raises questions from many quarters. From the skeptic: Why should I take stories of miracles literally? From pastors: What is the difference between exegesis and eisegesis? From the neophyte: Where is a good place to start reading the Bible? From the merely curious: What is a shekel?

This book is an amalgamation and skillful blending of revelation, spiritual insight, academics, research and refined biblical theology. This work caters for the unbeliever, born again Charismatic, Pentecostal, Evangelical, mainline Religious Traditionalist, student, skeptic and atheist - there is something for everyone in this revered and well researched work. This is one of the few books of its kind that blends scholastic wisdom, academic research, and historical actualities with fresh bible based revelation. The author does not bid to coax or cajole you to go with his school of thought neither does he bestow a myopic viewpoint, but uses The Word to explain The Word and balances it with authentic historical facts, substantiated theological facts and leaves you in a place where you can choose either to believe history, astuteness, scripture or academics - which are all intermarried in this imposing and revered work. Go through this work, not as a denigrator, but as a student, maintain an open mind and you will just be startled how certain mysteries can be solved so simply through divine wisdom that can still be proved by science, history actualities and adroitly balanced biblical theology. I have also thrown two bonus chapters in this book - Chapter 9 that deals with "How to Study your Bible in a Transforming Way." The chapter will help you to: - Ask the right questions - Read the Bible topically & Systematically - Maintain an open mind and a receptive spirit - Be prayerful and ask for the leading of The Holy Spirit - Move in Revelation Knowledge Chapter 10 is the bridge between revelation and scholastic astuteness that will help us in "Bringing The Balance." I pray that this book will be a great blessing to you and that a hunger for God and for God's Word will arise inside you. Read this book with an open mind and with a prayerful heart and be blessed.

Living the Questions of the Bible presents questioning as a viable and faithful Christian practice. We may think the Bible is only about getting answers, but the Bible is also a question book, revealing how the life of faith is a quest with and for God. By exploring various passages in the Bible, this book attempts to invite readers into an interrogative spirituality, one in which we learn that even God questions. Faith seeks and keeps on seeking. It may reach understanding, or it may not. Either way, our questions are a way to live the Christian life honestly, faithfully, and doxologically.

From Christian Piatt: "When I was a teenager, my youth minister threw a bible at my head for asking questions." Too often, for various reasons, people don't have the opportunity to ask the hard questions they have about faith, religion, salvation and the bible. And when questions are left unanswered in communities of faith, people either seek answers elsewhere or lose interest all together. The purpose of the series is to collect the most compelling and challenging questions from various theological areas and pose them to a panel of "experts" who are challenged with responding in two hundred words or less in plain English. This volume addresses challenging or controversial questions about scripture collected from people on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other social networking media. Respondents include theology professors, clergy, lay leaders, liberals, conservatives and voices representing a spectrum of views. The idea behind the books is not so much to provide definitive answers as it is to stimulate thought, reflection and discussion. By offering multiple perspectives, readers have the opportunity to arrive at their own questions. Better, they come to understand that questioning faith is not taboo, but rather that it can be at the foundation of a strong and growing faith. The directive given to each respondent guided them to be concise and to speak in plan language, but also not to rely exclusively on "the Bible says it" justifications, or to wax abstract or overly intellectual. Instead, they write from personal experience as much as possible, and provide real-life contexts that will allow the average seeker or churchgoer to apply such ideas to their daily lives.
