The Immoral Bible James Rauthner

How well do we know the most famous book of all time? "The Immoral Bible" offers a critical look at the morals of Holy Scripture, and argues that they're not all they're cracked up to be. At once honest, provocative and witty, James Rauthner guides us through the Bible's most famous stories, in both the Old and New Testaments, and lays bare their bad ethics and terrible advice. He demolishes the notion of the Bible as a moral guide, proving that the "Good Book" is much more likely to lead us astray than teach us to be virtuous. From Proverbs' absurd financial advice to Jesus' twisted family values, "The Immoral Bible" offers plenty of food for thought for Christians and non-Christians alike. One thing is certain: anyone who reads this work will think twice before sending their children to Sunday School."We need this book. When many people still believe their morality comes from the Bible, this book shows just what cruelty, revenge and wickedness this 'holy' book actually contains." - Professor Susan Blackmore, author of "The Meme Machine"
