The Triumph of Eve and Other Subversive Bible Tales is a collection of Stories - some whimsical, some serious -- that start from a close reading of the original text and its commentaries. Sometimes they attempt to resolve the ambiguity of the Bible. Sometimes they try to shed light on a part of a story that is often overlooked. Either way, these stories challenge several of the monolithic understandings and teachings of the Bible. They ask the reader to grapple with questions and insights that are often hidden in the original text. Examples include:
Can the tension between justice and mercy be resolved?
How can knowledge of one's death be life-affirming?
What makes someone become a suicide bomber?
Why does a physical disability often bring strength/
What is the essential nature of the human being?
