Book Review: The GOOD BOOK: READING THE BIBLE WITH MIND AND HEART CASSETTE: Reading the Bible with Mind and Heart

Amazon.com Review Biblical studies have historically been consigned to theological schools and church groups. In The Good Book, Peter Gomes, pastor of Harvard University's Memorial Church and a professor of theology, has written a vivid, common sense and wise analysis of what the Bible means for us today. As an African American gay man, Gomes is interested in re-viewing the biblical passages on sexuality and race, but The Good Book is much more than a revisionist look at controversial biblical passages. Gomes is interested in rediscovering how the Bible can find a place in our emotional and political lives, as well as in our religious beliefs. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. nnProduct Information A guide to reading the Bible authored by the minister of Memorial Church at Harvard interprets what the Bible says about such topics as joy, goodness, and suffering, as well as women, gays and lesbians, and people of color.
