The Erotic Word: Sexuality, Spirituality, and the Bible |
|
Erotic Bible |
|
Guide Rating - |
 |
|
| Pros |
• Interesting arguments and analysis of various texts not generally discussed
• Provides a counterpoint to the "family values" perspective on the Bible
|
|
| Cons |
• Interpretations of the Bible may not be accepted by many
• Could have done more to address more traditional interpretations of the texts
|
|
|
The Bottom Line -
Carr offers a plausible interpretation, one which offers the chance of taking our
understanding of the Bible into a different direction, one that wouldn't be possible
in the context of traditional, conservative readings of the Old Testament.
