a person who expresses a contentious opinion in order to provoke debate or test the strength of the opposing arguments.
This book is great for the faithful to use to prepare for and study common arguments and scriptures used by skeptics and unbelievers.
The purpose of this book isn't to slander or denounce the Bible, but it is intended to provoke thought and make the reader consider what it entails to really read, understand, and choose to accept the Bible. This book is meant to draw attention to the very worst aspects of popular Bible stories in order to encourage healthy skepticism and critical thinking when approaching the scriptures.
This book is great for skeptics to use to debate, personally provoke thought, and to have as novelty.
I also have a companion book on Inkshares called "The Worst Bible Stories Never Told" that compiles some of the absolute worst stories you will find in the Bible, along with many scriptures and questions that can be concerning, alarming, gross, and downright confusing.
The NET, KJV, NIV, and YLT translations, as well as consideration of context and meaning of original Hebrew and Greek words, were used in research.
