Thank you to NetGalley and Tydale House Publishers for a copy of this to read. Having listened to several episodes of the BEMA podcast I was thrilled to hear Marty Solomon was writing a book. Asking Better Questions of the Bible addresses several topics in a way that is insightful as it is inspirational. Marty addresses the importance of the historical and cultural context of when passages were written, humanizes the doubts that inevitably happen, and discusses the potential pitfalls of the desire for security and assurances. Going through each major "section" of the bible, Marty shares what he's learned along the way, gives many resources for further study, and most shares his thoughts on the purpose of scripture- not only to learn but to be transformed in our daily lives.
