Holy Literary License - The Almighty Chooses Fallible Mortals to Write, Edit, and Translate GodStory (Paperback)

An award-winning western novelist (North to Yesterday, Wanderer Springs) with decidedly liberal political leanings writes a spiritual autobiography unlike any other. The author grew up in a small west Texas town, attended seminary, became a war correspondent in Vietnam, and taught creative writing and literature for 40 years at Trinity University in San Antonio. With a deep sense of the irony of his project, he sets out to explain how the Bible came to be, delving into historical misconceptions, errors in translation, political and cultural biases, as well as the editorial failings of the Bible's many authors - and yet, he arrives at a place of ultimate faith. Holy Literary License is not anyone's traditional Sunday School material, but contemporary, open-minded Christians will find the book both enlightening and inspirational - and at times, intensely humorous. Flynn, the author of Growing Up A Sullen Baptist, is known for his wry wit and his humane insight. This work is his masterpiece.
