>If you consider yourself a traditionalist or a
>modernist or neither, you will find this book a
>tremendous aid in interpreting the Hebrew and
>Christian scriptures. I highly recommend this book to
>anyone wishing to wrest the bible from the pejorative
>ranks of literalism.
>If youve ever lived in a place where people use the
>bible to justify ever action, and you do not have
>knowledge of the bible, you may have found that you
>had arrived at a battle and you were unarmed. If youve
>ever been to a place where people use the bible as a
>cookbook, applying the letter of its content, but not
>the spirit, and do authoritative damage to others,
>then you will find John Buehrens book, Understanding
>the Bible, a refreshing, easy-to-read book that
>captures the spirit of the bible while providing the
>reader with the necessary armor to shield them against
>any biblical interpretation that is based in disguised
>fear rather than compassion.
>
>John Buehren looks at the bible through a modern-day
>lens that includes both Jewish and feminist
>perspectives that enables us to unchain the bible from
>the past and make it relevant and useful for the 21st
>Century.
>
>Whether you consider yourself to be a skeptic, seeker,
>or religious liberal, neglecting the rich rhetoric and
>iconic power of the bible is to ignore the impact that
>it has had on western Society and continues to have.
>Buehrens looks at historical aspects, original intent,
>and how tradition has reshaped the historical
>literature of the bible. Understanding the bible is
>key to our being interpreters of our common
>Judaeo-Christian heritage and is key to taking
>responsibility for our own spiritual maturation.
>Rather than preach about the bible, Buehrens
>eloquently writes of the bible and explores its
>narrative as metaphor so that we may transcend any
>arbitrary boundaries or creedal beliefs and enter into
>a relationship with others by finding common ground
>for which to begin conversations so that we may live
>together in harmony.
>
>For anyone who wishes to understand the bible and
>apply its content to todays world, John Buehrens book,
>Understanding the Bible, is a must read.
