"Good Book: The Bizarre, Hilarious, Disturbing, Marvelous, and
Inspiring Things I Learned When I Read Every Single Word of the
Bible
by David Plotz
David Plotz, a proud but mostly secular Jew, read the Bible for the
first time, every word of it. Plotz didn’t have any particular spiritual
agenda in mind; he was simply reading out of curiosity and
fascination. He, all of a sudden, had the need to understand the book
that has shaped his religion and culture.
