How the Bible Actually Works

Short Thoughts: The subtitle matters, “In Which I Explain How An Ancient, Ambiguous, and Diverse Book Leads Us to Wisdom Rather Than Answers—and Why That's Great News”

While I think that many will misread this, I do think that the larger point, that Christianity is to teach maturity and wisdom, not rule following, is right. But that point necessarily means that we will not end up with the same solutions because we have different thought processes once we start working through the issues. Many are not comfortable with that ambiguity. But I do think that part of maturity is living with ambiguity.

I think this is probably where I would suggest starting with Enns. How the bible actually works is very readable. It has lots of humor. And Enns narrates the audiobook and does a great job.
