Demystifies the Bible for Sincere Seekers of Truth

Masterful, well-researched/documented and very approachable for all audiences. Continues the great tradition of helping Bible students, seekers, skeptics, sages and saints wrestle with genuine and apparent Bible mysteries that have puzzled thoughtful readers for centuries. This book places Kennedy in the all-time great apologist list including C.S.Lewis, Josh McDowell, John MacArthur, Hank Hanegraaf, Walter Martin, R.C. Sproul, Norman Geisler and more recently Lee Strobel. Dr. Kennedy is wise to maintain mystery where Scripture does not reveal complete information to resolve; but where genuine progress can be made to understand apparent contradictions, doctrinal dichotomy, paradox, antinomy, this resource provides fresh material for resolution as far as humanly possible. Although obviously a scholar with a penetrating intellect, Dr. Kennedy keeps the conversation practical and down to earth for a wide audience. The goal is not merely information for the mind, but transformation of the heart and edification of the soul. This book achieves all three. It would make a great gift for searching friends who have sincere doubts about the Bible, but it also pulls no punches about the more troubling, difficult truths that need to be faced squarely and reflectively. Well done! Another must-read addition to the personal library!
