If the Bible isn&apos;t a science book or an instruction manual, then what is it? What do people mean when they say the Bible is <i>inspired</i>? When Rachel Held Evans found herself asking these questions, she began a quest to better understand what the Bible is and how it is meant to be read. What she discovered changed her--and it will change you too.<br />Drawing on the best in recent scholarship and using her well-honed literary expertise, Evans examines some of our favorite Bible stories and possible interpretations, retelling them through memoir, original poetry, short stories, soliloquies, and even a short screenplay. Undaunted by the Bible&apos;s most difficult passages, Evans wrestles through the process of doubting, imagining, and debating Scripture&apos;s mysteries. The Bible, she discovers, is not a static work but is a living, breathing, captivating, and confounding book that is able to equip us to join God&apos;s loving and redemptive work in the world.
