The Bizarre, Hilarious, Disturbing, Marvelous, and Inspiring Things I Learned When I Read Every Single Word of the Bible
David Plotz: Good Book (2009, HarperCollins Publishers)
English language
Published Dec. 30, 2009 by HarperCollins Publishers.
At a time when wars are fought over scriptural interpretation, when the influence of religion on American politics has never been greater, when many Americans still believe in the Bible's literal truth, it has never been more important to get to know the Bible. Good Book is what happens when a regular guy - an average Job - actually "reads" the book on which his religion, his culture, and his world are based.
Reads like a blog, a good blog with humor. Provides a good synopsis of many bible moments. Started as a contrast with [b:Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran|6598234|Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran|Robert Spencer|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255612125s/6598234.jpg|6792035]; enjoyed both books.
