Rachel Held Evans: Our Deeply Troubling Holy Book

“I have come to regard with some suspicion those who claim that the Bible never troubles them. I can only assume this means they haven’t actually read it." ―  Rachel Held Evans

"The most instructive question to bring to the biblical text is not 'what does it say?', but 'what am I looking for?' If you are looking for an out-dated, irrelevant ancient text, you will find it. If you are looking for truth, you will find it. If you want to do violence in this world, you will always find the weapons. If you want to heal, you will always find the balm.” ―  Rachel Held Evans
