Do you know much about the Bible? Have you ever read this verse?
Deuteronomy 25:11-12 If two men fight and one's wife tries to help by grabbing the testicles of the other man, her hand will be cut off without pity. (Living Bible)
The Holy Bible is chock-full of fascinating, sometimes shocking and almost never discussed lexis, verse after verse you will never hear in Sunday School.
A distinctive Bible study, Holy Enigma! takes a humorous look at the most ancient stories of the Near East. It introduces candor, humor, and commonsense into a careful assessment of "God's word." In a heartfelt desire to spawn interest in reading the Bible, the author opens Pandora's Box by questioning the divinity of some of the most bizarre text. Holy Enigma! is sure to astonish and entertain while inspiring deep reflection for believers and non-believers alike.
From the author:
This book was three years in the making. It evolved from a humor book, to a theology book, to a philosophy book, to somewhere in between. Because I take my religion seriously and have great respect for the Holy Bible, I've re-written this book so many times as to be haunted by the challenge. All my life I've heard baseless arguments trying to explain away troublesome Bible issues, and it dawned on me that no one had thought to ask God about the Good Book. I've come to believe the Creator wants us to read, think, take note and stand up for His side of the story. I concluded it might be helpful to lay all the most controversial passages on the table and let readers decide for themselves. Chapters 1, 2 and 3 take on the dogma of "biblical inerrancy." Chapters 4, 5 and 6 cover many of the most troublesome verses in the Old and New Testaments. Chapter 7 briefs the entire book of Revelation, and Chapter 8 offers a prayer of reconciliation.
