How (Not) to Read the Bible: Making Sense of the Anti-women, Anti-science, Pro-violence, Pro-slavery and Other Crazy-Sounding Parts of Scripture

by Dan Kimball

The Bible was written beginning around 1400 BC (the time of Moses) through around 100 AD (the time following the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the birth of the early church). That’s a time span of more than 1500 years! You would never read and interpret something written 3,400 years ago in the same way you would read a book written last week.
