Truthful Misconceptions

"I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever."

The quest for truth is a difficult task for any philosopher. Likewise, traditions of collective faith are challenging for any believer. Men and women from every era have struggled with the spirit and meaning contained within the passages of the Holy Bible. Battles have been waged across time over the definitive definitions of these flowery and loving texts, and it has taken two millennia to maintain a workable doctrine for millions to live with. But, what is still lacking, and what this gifted author attempts to provide, is a modernized breakdown of the original stories. This is divorced from the more traditional scribes that treat all the Bible's contents as truth, something that many modern believers find difficult to accept.

As the author states, this is a book grounded in the spiritualism of the Bible. It rapidly quotes its passages in each section. But, it is also a heartfelt and informative manifesto that proves wildly different from typical church doctrine. A complete history of the human religious experience is crafted for the reader, along with interesting insights on everything from the value of symbols to the prospect of reincarnation. With skilled hands, the author breaks down the literary structure of the most important and best-selling written work of all time, creating along the way a rich, engaging, colorful, and even exciting commentary between author and writer. It's a book that can push the boundaries of the faithful into new, informed avenues. It can shed new light on ancient sentences and present a vast assortment of humanist principles for nonbelievers.
