Fülszöveg


"The stories you are about to read are some of the most violent and sexually explicit in all of Western literature. They are tales of human passion in all of its infinite variety: adultery, seduction, incest, rape, mutilation, assassination, torture, sacrifice, and murder. "
«Sex. Violence. Scandal. These are words we rarely associate with the sacred text of the Bible.

-The Washington Post
"The Bible was written for adults, not for children, and some of its stories may well be said to have been written for adults only. That is the mess^e of Kirsch's well-pondered commentary and the best argument for why these episodes, so often passed over in blushing silence, deserve to be talked about out loud and (once or twice, anyway) even cheered." —Jack Miles
Author of God: A Biography
"This arresting and entertaining book is an important reminder that God cannot always be identified with respectable middle-class morality, and that some of the more shocking stories in the Bible have hard but necessary lessons for us today."
—Karen Armstrong New York Times bestselling author of A History of God Vissza
