Bible in Answers

Clear answers to the hard questions. From the text, from history, honestly given. This is the volume that took the longest, and it is the longest of the three. Bible in Answers takes the questions raised by the second volume and answers them, carefully, and without pretending the work is easier than it is. Where Scripture is clear, the answer is clear. Where the church has held one reading for twenty centuries, that reading is given. And where faithful readers have long disagreed, the disagreement is set out honestly rather than smoothed away. The style is unchanged: themed headings, finished-prose bullets, nothing padded. What changes is the weight. These are the questions people actually carry, about suffering, judgement, doubt, obedience and hope, and they are treated as such. It closes the trilogy the way the first volume opened it, by making something difficult reachable without making it smaller. Inside this volumeAnswers to the questions raised in Bible in Questions, in the same order Grounded in the biblical text and in twenty centuries of careful reading Names honest disagreement between faithful readers rather than hiding it Written for the sceptic and the believer alike, with no sermon attached The longest volume of the three, and the one readers return to Book Three of Three Bible in Bullets gives you the map. Bible in Questions walks the terrain. Bible in Answers is where insight takes root. Read it last, or read it first. It holds either way. Where insight takes root. Bible in Answers is an independent reference work based on the biblical canon and on historic Christian reading. It is not a Bible translation and not a replacement for Scripture.
