How the Bible Actually Works: In Which I Explain How An Ancient, Ambiguous, and Diverse Book Leads Us to Wisdom Rather Than Answers--and Why That's Great News

The Bible for Normal People is a powerful learning tool that nurtures our spiritual growth by refusing to provide us with easy answers but instead forces us to acquire wisdom.

Unlike many Christians who view the Bible as a how-to manual filled with literal truths about belief about God, this book argues that the Bible is dynamic and not static, offering insights and provoking readers to find their own answers to spiritual questions.

The author, Peter Enns, emphasizes that wisdom, not answers, is the Bible's true subject matter, and having the wrong expectation can create problems for our reading of the holy scriptures.

This book offers a vision of the Bible as an inspired and empowering resource to help us better understand how to live as a person of faith today.
