Review of 'What Is the Bible?: How an Ancient Library of Poems, Letters, and Stories Can Transform the Way You Think and Feel About Everything' on 'Goodreads'

Challenging and Thought Provoking

As a Reformed, Presbyterian pastor I should not lIke this book. Many in my tribe would say that I should not have even read this book. Yet, more and more I find myself to Bell. His writings are almost a call home.

This book in particular made me think about the Scriptures in ridiculously new ways. I had many “hmmm...” moments. Many moments that made me realize how I have missed the point.

As I walk from this text I am left wanting and needing to read the Scriptures. I desperately want to enter into the story the way Bell does in these pages. I want to love the Scriptures the way he does.

I would encourage anyone to read this book. You will be challenged and your mind about the Scriptures will be impacted.
