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 God’s plan. He wants us to question, because doing so actually leads to a stronger, lasting faith.

Isn't Evolution inconsistent with Panentheism?
Revisado: 05-14-24
Peter Enns scholarship is wonderful on "How the Bible Works." He gives the OT a living dynamic rivaling the NT. He answers the modern tension of the OT as lore, history (or news!) by giving us the mental perspective to handle this. That's truly priceless for our era. But can Peter move Christianity further down the field, twice? He tries! For me, He sadly fails. (He can adapt!)
By going all in on human evolution, evolutionary abiogenesis, and evolution as central theme of our cosmos, Peter admits to acceding to, and fully relying on, modern science that he was tragically taught to shun at his youth. He pointedly recommends our notion of God must inevitably grow in this evolutionary direction. To grow a God beyond OT petty personal vendettas. Grow with a quantum-informed panentheistic presence that permeates all of matter and energy at many levels.
What I see in this is the oxymoron "evolutionary design." (He doubts Intelligent Design.) The question I had at the end of Curveball is, "can a conscious being of ordered thought NOT effect influence upon DNA, epigenetic factors, and NOW Michael Levin's bioelectric cell-tissue-body programming. For me, the noise of evolution denies the Holy Spirit's weighting of our electric-like souls. After all, the moment bioelectrics offered any options, debate instantly pounced on the unlikelihood of the evolution Peter so hardily embraces. I do agree Christianity itself worships God through science, yet for my Christianity, a living personal God, who Himself is ever maturing (see OT or Jung.) I'm working a book too. Thanks, everyone!

What does it take to lead the successful turnaround of four consecutive organizations? What does it take to run a $5 billion business in Detroit as the city struggles to emerge from municipal bankruptcy and its worst ongoing crisis ever? What does it take to be a female CEO who has come up against discrimination and personal attack? It takes Unconventional Leadership, a style of leadership based on confronting reality and leading headlong through adversity.

Nothing to apply to my life
Revisado: 10-11-16
I am a curious person and I own a business. I amazed myself by not finding anything in this book that I endured to the end. Karen Saltus' voice made me wonder what she maybe like as a person... this book was that useless.
