Abstract
In this fast-paced, well-researched volume [MARC Swenson] (Virginia Commonwealth Univ.) seeks to convince everyone - from religious conservatives to nontheists - that the Good Book (both Old and New Testaments) made sense in its own day and should make a difference (largely positive) today. In 1 3 breezily written chapters, she attempts to set the record straight on everything from biblical origins to misquotations and misapplications.
