Best-selling authors like Richard Dawkins, Karen Armstrong, and Derrick Jensen are prime examples of those who find the Old Testament to be problematic to modern sensibilities. Iain Provan counters that such easy and popular readings misunderstand the Old Testament. He opposes modern misconceptions of the Old Testament by addressing ten fundamental questions that the biblical text should--and according to Provan does--answer: questions such as \"Who is God?\" and \"Why do evil and suffering mark the world?\" By focusing on Genesis and drawing on other Old Testament and extra-biblical sources, \u003ci\u003eSeriously Dangerous Religion\u003c\/i\u003e constructs a more plausible reading. As it turns out, Provan argues, the Old Testament is far more dangerous than modern critics even suppose. Its dangers are the bold claims it makes upon its readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Iain Provan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1481300237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481300230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baylor University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.15d","brand":"Iain Provan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042842734847,"sku":"9781481300230","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_440b6649-18d1-4000-8364-b8b606ba5f10.jpg?v=1684963846","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seriously-dangerous-religion-iain-provan-9781481300230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
