Publisher Description "Peter Enns is brilliant at taking the big topics, those Christian ideas that usually scare us or intimidate us or worry us, and then make those very places a meeting place with a God who is bigger and wilder and more wonderful and trustworthy than we ever could have guessed."—Sarah Bessey, author of Out of Sorts and Jesus FeministThe author of How the Bible Actually Works and The Bible Tells Me So explains how our model of God and faith must evolve as our understanding of the world deepens—just as the Bible describes it should.Life throws us "curve balls"—from devastating personal losses to world tragedies. These events often leave us doubting God, the Bible, and our faith. But instead of pushing away our reservations, we should embrace them, Peter Enns argues. A leading biblical scholar and Christian mentor, Enns has never been afraid to question the Bible or Christian beliefs. Such thoughtful inquisitiveness, he argues, is part of Gods plan. He wants us to question, because doing so actually leads to a stronger, lasting faith.By reframing how we see these events, we allow ourselves to see how the Bible itself showcases this very process and that "treating curve balls as the enemy" is not only counterproductive but thwarts Gods goal of helping us become mature and wise. Enns shares a number of curve balls hes encountered in his own life and the questions he has pondered. Does God care about the millions of people who never heard the gospel Could I relate to a God who has created a universe this big If God is so relatable, constant, and caring, how do we explain quantum physics He reveals how particular biblical passages have helped him find wisdom, and how they can do the same for us.As Curveball persuasively shows, God is bigger and more mysterious than anyones expectations. We need a faith that can grow just as deeply. Author Biography Peter Enns is Abram S. Clemens Professor of Biblical Studies at Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania.
