The Book of Exile: The Bible for Curious Bibliophobes

By Susan Merwin

The Western world's deepest exploration of human experience, the Bible takes a close look at who we are and how our sense of life's meaning is shaped by two fundamentally human realities: our knowledge of death and our sense of exile. The Book of Exile, avoiding faith-based preconceptions and prejudices, gives an unbiased account of what is on the page, from Genesis to Revelation, with deep appreciation for the Bible's ability to couch the largest questions in haunting, unforgettable stories. This is a book for the Bible-curious, for those interested to know why this time-honored work continues to fascinate. While written by a trained biblical scholar, The Book of Exile is not an academic work. Instead, it reflects profound personal exploration of this ancient wisdom tradition and invites us all to embark on a similar journey.
