Finally, a Theology Text that Explains the Contradictions in the Bible

"The Story of God" by Chris Matheson starts off feeling like a childish mockery, a joke to poke fun at Christianity. As the story progresses however, the seeming contradictions of the Bible are explained in the increasingly complex personality of God. Firmly grounded in Biblical text, this book explores the nature of God's mind in a way that addresses and answers questions that have plagued theologians for thousands of years.

Finally, the book delves into two of the most theologically important accounts in the Old Testament, the persecution of Job and the sea-voyage of Jonah. Both stories are exposed and explored as the lynch-pins of theology they really are, critical turning points in God's relationship with humanity.
