Thom Stark was a Fig Tree and Ledbetter scholar at Emmanuel School of Religion. His academic interests include second temple apocalyptic Judaism and Christian origins, as well as modern Christian and Islamic theologies of liberation.
Christians can ignore the facts that Stark brings into the light of
day only if they want to be wrong.

author of The Myth of a Christian Nation I learned so much from
this book that I can strongly encourage anyone who is seeking to
move from simplistic proof-texting to a comprehensive understanding
of the Bible to read this book carefully.
--Tony Campolo
author of Red Letter Christians This is must reading for Christians
who have agonized over their own private doubts about
Scripture--and for others who have given up hope that evangelical
Christians can practice intelligent, moral interpretation of the
Bible.
--Neil Elliott
author of Liberating Paul [W]ith the help of this book, we may
discover that the Bible--when we read it in all its diversity and
vulnerability--does bring healing words to those who keep
listening.
--Ted Grimsrud
author of Embodying the Way of Jesus Stark's book effectively
demonstrates how the Bible, in practice, is the most dangerous
enemy of fundamentalists.
--James F. McGrath
author of The Only True God Stark provides a model for theology
that is committed to hearing the voice of the victims of history,
especially the victims of our own religious traditions.
--Michael J. Iafrate
