Baffled by the Bible

Over the past 50 years, the author has participated in countless discussions of the Holy Bible both with fellow Christians, as well as well-informed members of the Jewish faith. During those discussions, many of the participants posed questions about certain passages in the Bible which no one in the group was able to answer. The purpose of this book is to share with the readers many biblical passages which were totally baffling to everyone who participated in these discussions: Can you make God angry?

If Jesus was the King of the Jews , why did he establish a new church?

When does the Bible predict the end of the world?

Does the Bible prescribe a way to test a wife’s fidelity?

Is God merciful?

Were the Jews really God’s chosen people?

Did God ever personally bury anyone?

Is suicide ever ok?

If Jesus was God, why was he baptized?

Is there a gender bias in the Bible?
