| Abstract | "When we read the Bible, we tend to race to our favorite passages. When we encounter a passage we don't understand or like, or even one that is positively offensive, we tend to move on. We 'eat the fish and leave the bones,' in a popular way of putting this approach to reading. But what if the bones are what we need?"-- From page 4 of cover. |
