Jennifer Grace Bird talks about her new book on reading the Bible for yourself
I finish my three-part series on the "good" book with Jennifer Grace Bird. She teaches at Portland Community College and the University of Portland and has written a fantastic guide to the Bible, Permission Granted: Take the Bible Into Your Own Hands. She doesn't flinch from challenging the "bad" texts in the good book. More than a critique of the Bible, she encourages her readers to read the texts for themselves with a critical eye and not just accept it because it's what "the Bible says." You can disagree with the Bible. Permission granted.
