Not What You Think blows the dust off dated misperceptions of the
Bible and engages the problems of this book head-on--the parts that
make modern readers squeamish, skeptical, and uncertain. If you're
skeptical about the Bible, you're not alone. The Bible is seen by
many contemporary readers as intolerant, outdated, out of step with
societal norms at best, and a tool of oppression at worst. In this
earnest and illuminating read, millennial thought leaders and
aspiring theologians Michael and Lauren McAfee are here to say:
fair enough. But they're also here to raise a few questions of
their own: What if we cleared the deck on our preconceptions of the
Bible and encountered it anew? What if we came with the
understanding that our questions are welcome? And what if the Bible
presents less of a system to figure out, and more of a story to
step into--a story with more surprising plot twists than we might
think? Michael and Lauren spent their childhoods in church and
Sunday school, they spent part of their twenties finding their way
in the world in New York City, and today they're shaping their
careers while pursuing doctoral studies in theology and ethics.
Along the way, they've had to wrangle very real questions--both
their own, and of their friends--about why, where, and how the most
controversial book in history fits in our world today. Join Michael
and Lauren as they explore the nature of the Bible--an ancient
mosaic of story, literature, history, and poetry--and what it means
for this generation and its relationship with God. Ultimately, Not
What You Think is an invitation to come and see, and be surprised.
