How to navigate among the mysteries of the best-selling book in human history? What keys do we need to begin to unlock its secrets? Where can we find a map that will lead us from one end to the other of its labyrinths? The text that interprets the reader tries to be a compass, key, and map for anyone willing to embark on an adventure that - as the author warns us from the title - promises more than meets the eye.
This book will be an invaluable aid both for the reader interested in understanding the message they haven't been able to access until now, and for the believer who wants to better understand God's revelation; both for the skeptical person who wants to get a closer look at this literary phenomenon, and for the detractor who wishes to be better informed to make their critique more appropriately. Christians and believers of other religions, as well as atheists and agnostics, are invited to think, to learn, to explore that Scripture which is, in some way, behind some of the world's great religions and which has shaped - correctly or incorrectly interpreted - a good part of the thought and history that we know.
