This Is A New Release Of The Original 1909 Edition.
Can we learn to take the Bible seriously without taking it
literally, to be honest about its historical, literary and
religious character? Can the Bible serve as a source of faith,
hope, and wisdom? In this book, academic theologians engage in a
public conversation about the kind of Bible we have. This is not a
book of answers, but a dialogue about topics such as the
relationship between science and religion, the authority of
scripture, and the impact of critical biblical scholarship on
liturgy.

Synopsis: This book offers a way to engage with the Bible as a set
of sacred texts that can serve as a song sheet for believers in
exile-those people Bishop John Shelby Spong calls the "church
alumni association." This includes those internally displaced
persons of faith who have not yet become spiritual refugees but who
feel the pressure to conform to traditional expressions of faith
that no longer serve as springs of living water for the journey of
life. These ancient texts come from another world and another time,
but they can serve as maps for the journey of life. They can best
do this when the sacred wisdom of the Bible is accepted as
permission to voice the new questions we face today in the
confidence that authentic faith has always required such boldness.
Religious progressives are people who live the questions, not dodge
them. Our task is not to guard a set of traditional answers, but to
live life boldly, taking risks for God's sake and our own. One of
the hallmarks of this book is that the problems posed by the Bible
are acknowledged. In particular, the contributions of recent
critical scholarship are embraced, rather than being ignored or
neutralized by pious ambivalence. The intended reader of this book
is not a traditional believer, secure in her assumptions about God
and salvation, but someone struggling to live with integrity in a
time when traditional religion seems increasingly irrelevant. The
goal is not to persuade the reader that the Bible is credible
but-more modestly-to offer an account of the Bible that may
encourage religious progressives to reclaim the Bible as a valued
part of our spiritual baggage. Endorsement: "Greg Jenks knows his
Bible as 'ancient texts that come from another world and another
time, ' wholly human in origin, sometimes mad, sometimes
magnificent. He buries the notion of a supernatural 'word of God'
only to affirm the continuing relevance of these words of
yesterday's men for today's 'religious progressives who live the
questions, not dodge them.' A wonderful demonstration of how we
might still find ways of singing the Lord's song in the strange and
brave new land of secular modernity." -David Boulton author Who on
Earth was Jesus? and The Trouble with God "I have read this] book
and find it superb. It is a volume that the market to laypersons of
all religious persuasions, and those who do not have a significant
religious perspective, urgently needs. It fills an obvious current
vacuum, is highly readable, entertaining, and immensely
informative. -J. Harold Ellens author of Honest Faith for Our Time
and Probing the Frontiers of Biblical Studies "Greg Jenks takes his
readers on a new journey through the Holy Scriptures, reclaiming
them with keen scholarship for our post-religious world. After
reading the work of this emerging progressive religious thinker,
the Bible will shine with a new luster." -John Shelby Spong, author
of Eternal Life: A New Vision and Jesus for the Non-Religious
Author Biography: Gregory C. Jenks is Academic Dean at St Francis
Theological College in Brisbane, Australia. He is the author of The
Origins and Early Development of the Antichrist Myth (1991).
