BOOK REVIEW:  [4 STARS] This was an excellent book, particularly where he exposes why the Bible, or conservative/evangelical/fundamentalist views of it (what he calls “biblicism”), has been made impossible. My only critique is that I think the section on his suggested new way to view the Bible is not as clear as it could be, which is why I give it only 4 stars. Nevertheless, overall, this is a much-needed book that explains why the traditional paradigm of the Bible simply doesn’t work, doesn’t line up with original concepts of scripture, and why the conservative church needs to rethink it.
