A
Personal
Postscript
Recenzii
Here
is
a
book
for
new
Christians
and
non-Christians.
But
also
for
Christians
like
me
-
long
in
the
tooth
and
with
years
of
reading
and
teaching
the
Bible
under
their
belt.
It
is
clear,
brave,
and
honest.
It
will
stir
people
to
discussion
and
debate.
It
will
surely
accomplish
what
its
author
describes
as
his
aim:
"to
offer
a
foundation
for
a
far-reaching
Jewish
and
Christian
humanism."
It
should
be
stuffed
into
brief
cases,
lunch
boxes
and
pockets
and
read
on
buses,
offices
and
in
the
pew.
Neil Richardson is to be congratulated for his boldness in tackling such a huge subject, and for doing so in a remarkably even-handed way. Would that some of those whose views he challenges were as willing to be so balanced! He doesn't shirk the hard questions raised by some biblical passages. Rather he encourages his readers to confront them openly and honestly. His suggestion that 'we can no longer identify the "God" of the text with the real God' will be challenging to some but profoundly helpful to many. This is a fine example of apologetics!
