What's actually in the least-read bestseller of all time? A typical Bible is virtually impenetrable to a casual reader. Except for the cherry-picked "good parts," most Christians have very little familiarity with their supposed holy book. Those who have slogged their way through it, page by tortuous page, usually come out the other end with little comprehension of what they've read. That's because the Bible is a grossly repetitive, horrendously overwritten and sloppily edited book of staggering length. The HBNE has stripped away the flummery and nebulous prose to reveal the cold, hard narrative: It's shocking. It's hilarious. It's deeply disturbing. And yet despite all that, the Bible is a VASTLY entertaining read when you actually understand what it's saying. With handy commentary incorporated into the text, the reader will instantly grasp the point of entire chapters in mere minutes. Discover the Bible your clergy wish you would ignore, and which your friends and family never knew existed.

There is much more to the Bible than the select cherries preachers and politicians pluck from its hundreds of pages. There exists, in fact, a massive, rotten underside. But who has the time and sufficient quantities of NoDoz to read the entire book? In this collection of brief, entertaining essays, written in a tone both matter-of-fact incredulous and wryly sarcastic, Andrew Bernardin dives deep beneath the Bible's cover to share a peek of some of the customarily cloaked, sordid content. He reveals both how "God's inerrant word" has been worded differently in many versions of the Bible, and how “God's Message” changes from Genesis to Revelation within each Bible. In addition to the essays, Naked contains bonus, eye-opening verses translated into blunt, everyday English.From front to back, The Naked Bible strips bare the outright scandalous and plainly silly alike. If you care to know more about the lesser known Bible, this is one fun way to do it.-[Revised 04/11 to update formatting and correct typographical errors.]

Far too many Christians have only a superficial understanding of the Bible. They are familiar with some of the best-known stories and the main themes within it but draw a blank when it comes to some of the more obscure Bible passages. This is unfortunate. Paul makes it clear in 2 Timothy 3:16 that all Scripture is inspired by God, not just the parts that we hear about most often in contemporary culture. Each of this book's 40 chapters deals with one of these lesser-known Bible passages. Thoroughly evangelical in its approach, this book consistently affirms a high view of Scripture. Readers will learn about the time Abraham shooed the vultures away, how God nearly killed Moses for something he didn't do, the need for Christians to be more shrewd, and why Paul circumcised Timothy in order to get a proper hearing for the gospel among the Jews. Each of these passages is carefully examined and readers are shown how the principles within them are applicable to Christians today.

Do miracles still happen today? This book demonstrates that miraculous works of God, which have been part of the experience of the church around the world since Christianity began, continue into the present. Leading New Testament scholar Craig Keener addresses common questions about miracles and provides compelling reasons to believe in them today, including many accounts that offer evidence of verifiable miracles. This book gives an accessible and concise overview of one of Keener's most significant research topics. His earlier two-volume work on miracles stands as the definitive word on the topic, but its size and scope are daunting to many readers. This new book summarizes Keener's basic argument but contains substantial new material, including new accounts of the miraculous. It is suitable as a textbook but also accessible to church leaders and laypeople.
