内容説明・目次

内容説明

What words come to mind when we think of God? Merciful? Just? Compassionate? In fact, the Bible lays out God's primary qualities clearly: jealous, petty, unforgiving, bloodthirsty, vindictive - and worse. Originally conceived as a joint presentation between influential thinker and bestselling author Richard Dawkins and former evangelical preacher Dan Barker, this unique book provides an investigation into what may be the most unpleasant character in all fiction. Barker combs through both the Old and New Testament, presenting powerful evidence for why the Scripture shouldn't govern our everyday lives and arguing that we should move past the Bible and clear a path to a kinder and more thoughtful world.
