God's Book: An Honest Look at the Bible's 7 Toughest Topics

Trade Paperback

Does the Bible condone warfare and slavery?

Isn't the New Testament's teaching on sex outdated?

Surely there's not a literal heaven and hell?

These are just some of the questions that popular Bible teacher Andrew Ollerton asks as he helps us navigate the most challenging topics in the Bible.

God's Book follows the biblical plotline from Genesis to Revelation and reveals how to make sense of difficult passages by considering them in their original setting. When we understand the creation story in its ancient context, we won't need to choose between science or the Bible. When we appreciate that the conquest of Canaan was a unique moment in history, these passages won't justify violence today.

The Bible's 7 toughest topics

Science versus Creation

Slavery and Old Testament laws

Warfare and violence

Suffering

Miracles and exorcisms

Sex

Heaven, hell and judgement

Andrew concludes each chapter with a letter to a young adult, giving practical advice on each topic. God's Book is for anyone who is spiritually curious and wants to make sense of the Bible, and for Christians who want to share their faith more confidently in today's culture.
