  With God Again: My Journey Away from God and Back , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 470min

  Many believers can relate to the process of exploring the world outside of faith and finding good, seemingly normal human beings who they were raised to view as "others": homosexuals, Muslims, atheists, secularists, liberals, and city people. This universal story, where an individual raised to believe in God has to reconcile their inherited belief with their world, points to every generation's struggle. It seems that Christianity is designed for a beautiful but confounding reconstruction of faith, generation by generation. This is the narrative of With God Again, in which a man shares the pain and joy of finding God inside and outside the Church. With God Again is a deeply personal story of an individual's lifelong wrestling match with the Creator. Even as a teenager, controversy was in the DNA of the author's relationship with God and the world. It was in these adolescent years that false sexual assault allegations destroyed the author's conception of God and his life at the time, but soon lead him directly to the person of God. It is in this continual process of tragedy, loss, learning, and growth that the author is able to share a testimony of God's grace and love for all people. The early trials are part of a God-ordained plan: Moving from the suburbs into one of the poorest neighborhoods in Portland, entering a new community, joining a new racial, cultural, and ethnic family, and subsequently finding Jesus anew in it all. With God Again explains in story that there is a transcendent, perfect God who is always greater than we can conceive, and at the same time, God is so powerfully knowable and accessible, even to the messiest and worst of us. ungekürzt.

  How to Read the Bible: A Guide to Scripture, Then and Now , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2185min

  In How to Read the Bible, Harvard professor James Kugel leads the listener chapter by chapter through the "quiet revolution" of recent biblical scholarship, showing time and again how radically the interpretations of today''s researchers differ from what people have always thought. The story of Adam and Eve, it turns out, was not originally about the "Fall of Man",l but about the move from a primitive, hunter-gatherer society to a settled, agricultural one. As for the stories of Cain and Abel, Abraham and Sarah, and Jacob and Esau, these narratives were not, at their origin, about individual people at all but, rather, explanations of some feature of Israelite society as it existed centuries after these figures were said to have lived. And whatever the original Ten Commandments might have been, scholars are quite sure they were different from the ones we have today. Such findings pose a serious problem for adherents of traditional, Bible-based faiths. Hiding from the discoveries of modern scholars seems dishonest, but accepting them means undermining much of the Bible's reliability and authority as the word of God. What to do? In his search for a solution, Kugel leads the listener back to a group of ancient biblical interpreters who flourished at the end of the biblical period. Far from naïve, these interpreters consciously set out to depart from the original meaning of the Bible''s various stories, laws, and prophecies - and they, Kugel argues, hold the key to solving the dilemma of reading the Bible today. How to Read the Bible is, quite simply, the best, most original book about the Bible in decades. Clear, often funny, but deeply serious in its purpose, this is a book for Christians and Jews, believers and secularists alike. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mel Foster.
