TAKING THE BIBLE SERIOUSLY MEANS EMBRACING ITS TENSION AND Taking the Bible seriously means embracing its tension and complexity. This week, we’re wrapping up our discussion of Christian Smith’s excellent book, The Bible Made Impossible.

For most of us, holy week isn’t soholy.

Let’s face it. Most of us like to think of ourselves as the scrappy, beleaguered underdog for whom success is the result of hard work and a strong will to beat the odds.
