"Sex. Violence. Scandal. These are words we rarely associate with the sacred text of the Bible. Yet in this brilliant book, Jonathan Kirsch recounts shocking tales that have been suppressed by religious authorities throughout history. He places each story within the political and social context of it's time,... explains why each one was originally censored, and shows how these ancient narratives hold valuable lessons for all of us."
