About Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again by Rachel Held Evans
Rachel Held Evans explores what it means to call the Bible “inspired” and how readers might understand its purpose. Drawing on her own complicated relationship with Scripture and biblical scholarship, she considers questions about its unanswered mysteries, its human history, and the ways its words have been used both to give voice to the oppressed and to justify their oppressors.
Rather than treating the Bible as a simple instruction manual or a text without difficult passages, Evans engages its stories through memoir, original poetry, short stories, and a short screenplay. This book may interest readers seeking a thoughtful, questioning approach to biblical interpretation, especially those reflecting on doubt, faith, and how Scripture can inform a life of Christian faith.
