Befuddled By The Bible

People read the Bible for different reasons. Some are interested in the historical information, some in the spiritual content, and others are interested in confusing statements found in the Bible. In "Befuddled by the Bible," author William Jozwiak examines these confusing Biblical statements-statements that may seem to be in conflict with one's understanding of God.

The author believes that every story and every statement in the Bible has meaning. There may be a church's interpretation of the issue, which can be accepted as truth, but there is also a personal application. For it is God speaking to us as individuals, inviting us into the mystery of his love.

Curiosity can lead us astray, causing us to wander into a spiritual desert. In Befuddled, Jozwiak suggests we use our curiosity to find the hidden treasures in those parts of the Bible that befuddle us. Although his examples are only a few of those we may encounter while reading the Bible, his wish is for his readers to eventually find more interest in the bigger book-the Word of God.
