Written by the man Time magazine called one of the seven best
preachers in America, The Good Book is a brilliant and inspiring
look at the Bible today. Beginning with a bracing crash course in
biblical literacy and interpretation, Gomes proceeds to rescue the
Bible from those who would misuse its passages to alienate and
exclude. In stirring chapters on what the Bible says to us about
anti-Semitism, women, homosexuality, and race, Gomes suggests new
ways to read and interpret Scripture. Finally, with compassion,
humor, and refreshing originality, Gomes seeks to illuminate what
the Bible has to say about suffering, joy, evil, temptation,
wealth, science, mystery, and the good life. This wise book gives
us the tools we need to make the Bible a dynamic, living, and
transforming part of our daily lives.
-- A major national bestseller: The Good Book appeared on The New
York Times, USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, and

on the Bible for thoughtful people...a triumph of scholarship and
devotion". -- The Right Reverend Lord Runcie, 102nd Archbishop of
Canterbury
