Bible Stories for Skeptics: Why You Don't Have to Believe in the Supernatural to Be a Christian--or a Jew

Richard Trudeau writes, I'm a skeptic. I don't believe in supernatural beings or miraculous events. I don't believe in a supernatural God, or the soul, or miracles, or an afterlife. I don't believe that Jesus was raised from the dead on the third day--or the fourth day, or any subsequent day. My skepticism notwithstanding, there are stories in the Bible that I return to over and over. They engage my mind. They strengthen my heart. They nourish my spirit. While seeking neither to encourage skepticism nor to undermine it, I want to share my enthusiasm about these stories with fellow skeptics and others who might find my point of view interesting. I believe that for Christianity to flourish--and to a lesser extent, for Judaism to flourish--they need to be separated from the perceived necessity of belief in the supernatural. This book shows by a series of examples how this separation can be carried out.
