Opening the Bible: What Is It, Where It Came From, What It Means for You

This book is a fresh, intelligent study of the Bible as a guide to faith and life in the new millennium.

Many people are looking at the Bible again---or for the first time---for meaning in their lives. They come with honest questions: --Is the Bible the Word of God? --Why are there so many differing interpretations of the Bible? --How can I know which one is right? --Are the miracles reported in the Bible real events? --How can I read the Bible to find meaning for my life?

In a direct, clear way that respects the Bible and the questions of the spiritual seeker, biblical scholar Robert Kysar tackles the hard questions for a new generation of faithful people. It's ideal for lay readers, adult study groups, and introductory college and seminary classes.
