| I have been a serious student of the Christian scriptures since I was a teenager. My opinion of them, however, has changed radically over the years. In a sense, I view them now as the beauty and the beast. Portions of the scriptures are positively beastly; they harm, subjugate, misinform, and cause emotional violence. Others have indescribable beauty. Without glossing over the negative, I hope to offer the selection of passages that exhibit transcendent beauty, meaning, and hope. Our nation has just decided to go to war yet again in the Middle East. I, along with you, long for a good word. That is what I wish to offer – pearls of extraordinary value. |
