The Old Testament is a fierce battleground for atheists and Christian apologists, with each side accusing the other of taking challenging and troubling passages out of context. In this handbook, Joshua Bowen not only provides the background to the Old Testament and the ancient Near East, but engages with hotly contested topics like slavery, failed prophecy, and the authorship of debated Old Testament books.

Picking up where Bible expert Bart Ehrman's New York Times best seller, Misquoting Jesus, left off, Jesus, Interrupted addresses the larger issue of what the New Testament actually teaches...and it's not what most people think. This is the book that pastors, educators, and anyone interested in the Bible have been waiting for, a clear and compelling account of the central challenges we face when attempting to reconstruct the life and message of Jesus.

Nailed sheds light on ten beloved Christian myths, and, with evidence gathered from historians across the theological spectrum, shows how they point to a Jesus Christ created solely through allegorical alchemy of hope and imagination; a messiah transformed from a purely literary, theological construct into the familiar figure of Jesus - in short, a purely mythic Christ.

Histoire
In this “eloquent understanding of how death is viewed through many spiritual traditions” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), Bart Ehrman recounts the long history of the afterlife, ranging from The Epic of Gilgamesh up to the writings of Augustine, focusing especially on the teachings of Jesus and his early followers. He discusses ancient guided tours of heaven and hell, in which a living person observes the sublime blessings of heaven for those who are saved and the horrifying torments of hell for those who are damned.

Here is an impassioned plea for reason in a world divided by faith. This important and timely work delivers a startling analysis of the clash of faith and reason in today's world. Harris offers a vivid historical tour of mankind's willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs, even when those beliefs are used to justify harmful behavior and sometimes heinous crimes.

Histoire
The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions.

Description
An astonishing and revelatory history that re-presents God as he was originally envisioned by ancient worshippers - with a distinctly male body, and with superhuman powers, earthly passions, and a penchant for the fantastic and monstrous.
"[A] rollicking journey through every aspect of Yahweh’s body, from top to bottom (yes, that too) and from inside out ... Ms. Stavrakopoulou has almost too much fun.” (The Economist)
The scholarship of theology and religion teaches us that the God of the Bible was without a body, only revealing himself in the Old Testament in words mysteriously uttered through his prophets, and in the New Testament in the body of Christ. The portrayal of God as corporeal and masculine is seen as merely metaphorical, figurative, or poetic. But, in this revelatory study, Francesca Stavrakopoulou presents a vividly corporeal image of God: a human-shaped deity who walks and talks and weeps and laughs, who eats, sleeps, feels, and breathes, and who is undeniably male.
Here is a portrait - arrived at through the author's close examination of and research into the Bible - of a god in ancient myths and rituals who was a product of a particular society, at a particular time, made in the image of the people who lived then, shaped by their own circumstances and experience of the world. From head to toe - and every part of the body in between - this is a god of stunning surprise and complexity, one we have never encountered before.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Brilliant . . . Fascinating . . . Boldly simple in concept, God: An Anatomy is stunning in its execution. It is a tour de force, a triumph, and I write this as one who disagrees with Stavrakopoulou both on broad theoretical grounds and one who finds himself engaged with her in one narrow textual spat after another . . . Great fun to read . . . A stunning book.”—Jack Miles, Catholic Herald
“This book is a great rebel shout. . . [A] rollicking journey through every aspect of Yahweh’s body, from top to bottom (yes, that too) and from inside out . . . Ms. Stavrakopoulou has almost too much fun.”—The Economist
“In both Judaism and Christianity God is conceived as non-physical. In God: An Anatomy Francesca Stavrakopoulou shows that this was not yet so in the Bible, where God appears in a much more corporeal form. This provocative work will surprise and may shock, but it brings to light aspects of the biblical account of God that modern readers seldom appreciate.”—John Barton, author of A History of the Bible

God's Beard And Other Musings
February 2022 | 4.5/5
Professor Stavrakopoulou examines how the Western idea of God came to be using her knowledge of ancient religions and deep examination of the Hebrew bible.
She shows how the ancient God had a human shaped body, walked and talked with his followers, laughed, cried, and loved his people.
A male god with bulging muscles, long hair, a well kept mustache and a luxurious beard, a long thick member with heavy testicles, reddish tinged skin, thonged sandles on feet, and perfumes on his skin. Look once and hes young and athletic with dark blueish hair, look again and he's aged and wise with white hair and beard. He has blood under his nails the faint impression of a tight band around his forehead.
The western God is a post biblical fable - an assembly of 2000 years of selected stories and books to create a God that lets cancer kill too young and hunger to run rampant across the globe. A god that has little in common with those created in his image.

Fascinating; Will relisten in future
This is a fascinating examination of the treatment of God's body in the Bible but it is also much more. With references to other written works, art, and general history, the author weaves a narrative that helps to explain how modern society's conceptions of God have been formed. I download all my audiobooks onto a small MP3 player so I can listen to them on my daily walks. Up until now, any audiobooks that I have finished have been removed to make space for others. This audiobook is going to permanently reside on my MP3 player as I plan to dip into it again and again in the hopes that I can clearly remember more of what I have heard. I will never look at a work of religious art or hear a bible story the same way again thanks to this well written and well narrated audiobook.

An extraordinary revelation.
I haven’t known a lot about the old testament except from the carefully curated Sunday school account. This book has been an extraordinary revelation on what was carefully omitted from that education.
For instance, the other day I learned that the god of the oldest books in the bible was El, who’s wife was Athirat and one of who’s sons was Yahweh. Later Yahweh worshipers decided that there’s was the only true god and scholars retconned the older mythology to say that El was Yahweh all along. The son became the father retroactively. Which was probably kinda controversial at the time.
Then just yesterday it clicked that this is exactly what was happening at the Council of Nicaea. Arius and his followers held that Jesus was the Son of God (Yahweh) and that he was made, new by his father. On the other hand the Nicene Creed, which triumphed, was intent on retconning Jesus the son to be the god himself, replacing Yahweh in exactly the same way centuries before Yahweh had replaced El, his father. The Council of Nicaea makes more sense in this context.
I suspect that many readers who were subjected to a very dishonest account of the Hebrew bible like I was will find over and over again that important details, background and context had been expurgated from their “education.” This is the overview that makes sense of a very messy and conflicted mythology.

I didn't realize how difficult parts of this would be to listen to. Other chapters were fascinating, but the section describing the Bibles use of gang rape as a metaphor was tough going
