PAPERBACK MARKETING STATEMENT
The Bible is not the word of God.
Biblical
Nonsense is a broad look at the tremendous
problem of associating divinity with the world's most popular book. This
part-philosophical, part-scientific overview explores the Bible's divine
treachery, scientific mistakes, historical errors, false prophecies, and
comical absurdities. Biblical Nonsense
also expands beyond these standard reasons for skepticism by tackling the
rationale behind the emergence and perpetuation of Christianity, psychological
and sociocultural reasons that drive Christians to cling to their beliefs, and
illogical methods of argumentation invoked in the defense of the Bible.
Author Dr. Jason Long is a former Christian who condenses the
most significant biblical problems into this single volume. Unlike other books
in the field that delve into only one topic, this manuscript, comprehensible
even to those who have never opened a Bible, is a full-fledged attempt to
demonstrate that God's supposed word is a product of human minds, not divine
inspiration. Dr. Long's fresh experiences in the church and advanced levels
of educational enlightenment make him the perfect individual to present this
vehemently unpopular, yet undeniably appealing topic.
HARDCOVER MARKETING STATEMENT
Dr. Jason
Long's Biblical Nonsense is a
thorough scientific and philosophical analysis of the Bible's credibility.
While billions of people around the world have merely assumed the solid
validity of the Bible, Biblical Nonsense
tells the contrasting, rarely exposed side of the story. While the Church
scarcely makes the decision to cover these controversial issues, Dr. Long
presents a series of profound questions regarding the Bible's scientific
mistakes and historical inaccuracies that effectively discredit its divine
authenticity.
Biblical Nonsense covers such topics as
the feasibility of Noah's flood, God's stance on slavery, the position of women
in ancient Hebrew society, contradictions committed among the Bible's fallible
authors, the historicity of Jesus, contemporary Christian household
conditioning, God's millions of murderous acts, and the imminent downfall of
Christianity. Biblical Nonsense is
one of the best complete, concise, and easily understandable accounts of the
Bible's mistakes.
