Sobre este artículo
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2005. Reprint ed.. Paperback octavo, very good condition, top edge lightly foxed, minor edgewear corners. 217 pp. Jacques Berlinerblau suggests that atheists and agnostics must take stock of that which they oppose. He argues that defiantly maintaining a shallow understanding of religion is not a politically prudent strategy in modern times.
Sinopsis
In The Secular Bible: Why Nonbelievers Must Take Religion Seriously, Jacques Berlinerblau explores the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, though an explicitly critical and secular perspective, reviewing how it has been interpreted from antiquity to today and how these interpretations impact our current political debates. In separate chapters, he looks at how the Bible continues to be invoked in disputes about Jewish identity, intermarriage, and about homosexuality - offering secular readers background and ideas for joining conversations about scripture. Finally, he suggests ways in which secularists in all countries need to pose such questions about all sacred texts and religious phenomena. Cumulatively, the book is a first attempt to re-invigorate a once-estimable secular, intellectual tradition.
