The Bible for Grown-Ups by Simon Loveday
A startling new look at the Bible that is fascinating and persuasive (Matthew Parris)
A hymn to an irrepressible longing in the human spirit for higher meaning.. Loveday writes with a clarity that is little short of gripping. -- Matthew Parris * Spectator *
Loveday intelligently and successfully assesses the Bible in ways that are accessible and useful for those with open, inquiring minds. * Publishers Weekly *
Loveday's case is that the mantle of historical truth and divine authority has placed upon the Bible an intolerable weight, crushing it as a creative work of immense imaginative and inspirational power. His argument is both fascinating and persuasive. -- Matthew Parris
