As my friend Rachel says, “If you aren’t questioning the Bible, I have to wonder if you’re even reading it.” For instance, I never liked the Apostle Paul very much. (Apparently you can type a sentence like that and not be struck by lightning.) Like many Christians, I am still drawn toward certain personalities within the Bible. My heart has always aligned itself with the Apostle John: so many aspects of his character and story and passions oddly sing to me.
