Do you long for a little help when the kids ask hard questions? Are you the one who’s asking the hard questions? Fackler’s 500 Questions and Answers is the book for you!
It is a delightful, nonexhaustive commentary that gives intelligent, balanced, yet down-to-earth explanations of many difficult questions people ask of the Bible. “If God already
knows what we need, why pray? What is baptism ‘with fire’? Do angels intervene in human affairs?”
Organized by Scripture reference and a complete list of questions in the table of contents, it’s easy to find the Q & A for specific passages. For those watching heaven orthodoxy, this volume promotes a Gnostic, non-physical eschatology. Otherwise, this book is highly recommended for anyone seeking clarity on details in the biblical narrative.
