There be dragons all over the Bible. From the great sea monsters of
Genesis to the great dragon of Revelation, dragons appear as the
Bible opens and closes, and they pop their grisly heads up at
various junctures in between. How did they get there and what on
earth (or indeed in heaven) are they doing there? From Chapter One.
This is a book for those who find standard discussions of faith and
suffering frustrating. Andy Angel opens up the rich biblical
tradition of living with God in the midst of suffering. He takes
the reader on a journey of exploration through biblical texts that
are often overlooked because of their strangeness - texts about
dragons. He shows how these peculiar passages generate a language
of prayer through suffering in which people share their anger,
weariness, disillusionment, and even joy in suffering with God.
Angel explores how such 'weird' Scriptures open up a whole new way
of praying and reveal a God who approves of honest spirituality, a
spirituality that the Bible holds open but too many of its
interpreters do not.
