What exactly do people mean when they say "Jesus saves," all gleefully and everything. It sounds like a nice bumper sticker, or a great catch phrase. But seriously-how's that supposed to work? The Scapegoat is a book not only for believers, but also for people who can't seem to get with Jesus or the Bible. Maybe it's because of how it's all been presented to them. Or maybe they find it hard to believe in things they don't understand. The Scapegoat breaks it all down with details from the Bible most people have never heard. The author lays out the theory of Jesus of Nazareth-not the story but the theory-in a modern, no-nonsense voice sprinkled with wry humor. "Because the Bible says what it says and it means what it means-whether you like it or not. Ignoring what it says or assuming it's all made up (or whatever) has absolutely no impact on whether it's true. . . . My purpose is to reveal, in a straightforward way, the gist of what the Bible says so you can take it to the bank . . . And that's not some kind of hocus pocus-we're going to open up the hood and walk through how it works mechanically." THE SCAPEGOAT by Rick Smith
