Banned Questions about the Bible - by Christian Piatt (Paperback)

About the Book

If Adam and Eve were the first (only) people on Earth, where did their kid's spouses come from? How can God be both all-loving and yet allow people to be thrown into hell? Does the Bible ever refer to itself as "the Bible"? If no, where did the name "Bible" come from? Within the Pages of Banned Questions about the Bible you'll find fifty of the most provocative, challenging, or otherwise taboo questions that many of us have wondered about but few have actually asked. Answered by a team of respondents who offer their views, these questions can open a dialogue and allow us to talk more openly about what we believe, what we don't, and why.
