God’s Book

Andrew's intellect, research and level of insight and understanding is inspiring to see in full force here! Personally I find it hugely helpful when a person so clever, gently walks a dullard like me through some of the most challenging questions and somehow leads me to such wise answers.

In God's Book Andrew Ollerton examines some of the toughest questions that arise when we read the Bible, encouraging us to think them though rather than avoid or ignore them. In my life and work I have found that time and time again the Bible stands up to the scrutiny thrown at it. In reading this book you will be encouraged to discover good reasons for trusting the Bible for yourself. You may not agree with everything you read but I recommend engaging with God's Book and considering the Bible afresh.

A surprising number of 21st Century people are rediscovering the value of the Bible and the scriptural story that shaped our world. But that means a lot of modern people are also bumping into ancient texts about creation, warfare, suffering and sexuality. Andrew Ollerton has provided an essential and highly accessible guide to the key concerns and objections many modern readers may have when reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Not only does Andrew provide context for confusing scriptures and help to make sense of difficult passages, he also shows how the entire story of scripture can speak to every generation anew, including our own. It is an excellent read - a book I would recommend to anyone wanting to make sense of scripture.
