What Is the Bible?: How an Ancient Library of Poems, Letters, and Stories Can Transform the Way You Think and Feel About Everything by Rob Bell
4.0
I always like Rob Bell's works. Sure, he has his fair share of critics, and can sometimes massage things to fit his point, but I love his ability to ask questions and communicate in a sincere way.
His book follows a good arc, and I like where it lands. Perhaps it's a product of our times, and I'd hesitate to label his understanding of what the Bible is to be the "correct" one, but a more inclusive, context-aware, and environmentally sensitive reading seems to be a good start. Definitely a book worth threading along with other biblical critique and more in-depth scholarship.
If you've ever had questions about the nature of the Bible, this book is a great place to start your journey from.
