Wherever we are in our faith journey, we may at times rely on others to inform our beliefs about God because the Bible (or at least certain topics) feels confusing or it’s frustrating to read. With the barriers of history and culture, it’s no surprise that the bible can be hard to understand at times.

Are you interested in moving past the frustration and digging deeper into scripture?

In The Epic of Eden, Sandra L. Richter reminds us that the Bible was “cast upon the waters of history with one very specific…objective—to tell the epic tale of God’s ongoing quest to ransom his creation”. Throughout the book, she gives us a framework through which to understand God’s redemptive narrative.

If you want to get past the barriers to understanding God’s story, then I highly recommend The Epic of Eden.
