What does the Bible say to you? How much of it makes sense and why are there so many obvious conflicts, confusion and inconsistencies to be found from Genesis to Revelation? How is it that scripture, revered by both Jews and Christians alike, utterly fails to provide coherent structure and moral guidance? These questions and more are explored in "It Ain't Necessarily So---the Demystification of God and Man." Its author guides you through selected verses of the Pentateuch and the four Gospels and, by so doing, challenges you to make up your own minds as to their meanings, consistencies and veracity. Through the process you are asked to put aside your preconceptions as you read, along with the author, what scripture is really telling us: and it's not always what your priest, rabbi or minister interprets for you. More than anything, Miller wants you to, as best you can, think for yourself. He will read verses that call into question God's omnipotence...and competence! Using scripture, he, along with you, will consider the realities of The Flood, the Exodus, the Divine Birth, the Resurrection and much much more.
"It Ain't Necessarily So" is a challenging yet entertaining guide towards a better understanding of scripture not commonly assumed. It is a book without intellectual pretensions yet it provides thought provoking fodder that forces us to rethink traditional points-of-view. For those with inquisitive minds, stoic disposition and a sense of humor to boot, you will find "It Ain't Necessarily So" a great edition to your e-book library.
