Book Signing with Randall Tremba | The Bible Reexamined: Eve Is a Hero, Mary Is Not a Virgin, Jesus Is Not the WayFOUR SEASONS BOOKS
This book presents several counterintuitive interpretations of classical biblical texts: Creation as a parable, not exposition. Eve as a hero, not a villain. Love, not Jesus, as the way the truth and the life. The gospels as sectarian tracts, not history. The book also includes an account of the gradual formation of the Bible from an assorted collection of ancient Jewish scrolls into a single book and its eventual idolization and weaponization by Protestants as THE WORD OF GOD in the sixteenth century. This book debunks that notion.
