What the Bible Really Says

What does the Bible really say about capital punishment, government, the future, marriage and divorce, miracles, segregation and intolerance, slavery, war, wealth, women and the world? While literalist Christians insist that the Bible supplies all the anwers for today's ethical and social questions and liberals claims that the Bible can hardly be understood without the aid of advanced criticism, this collection shows that "what the Bible says is far more important than what its interpreters say". The Bible's position is quite clear - and clearly contradictory - on many issues. This book consists of views from around the world, on what the Bible really says.
