520    "Not What You Think blows the dust off dated 
       misperceptions of the Bible and engages the problems of 
       this book head-on--the parts that make modern readers 
       squeamish, skeptical, and uncertain. If you're skeptical 
       about the Bible, you're not alone. The Bible is seen by 
       many contemporary readers as intolerant, outdated, out of 
       step with societal norms at best, and a tool of oppression
       at worst. In this earnest and illuminating read, 
       millennial thought leaders and aspiring theologians 
       Michael and Lauren McAfee are here to say: fair enough. 
       But they're also here to raise a few questions of their 
       own: What if we cleared the deck on our preconceptions of 
       the Bible and encountered it anew? What if we came with 
       the understanding that our questions are welcome? And what
       if the Bible presents less of a system to figure out, and 
       more of a story to step into--a story with more surprising
       plot twists than we might think? Michael and Lauren spent 
       their childhoods in church and Sunday school, they spent 
       part of their twenties finding their way in the world in 
       New York City, and today they're shaping their careers 
       while pursuing doctoral studies in theology and ethics. 
       Along the way, they've had to wrangle very real questions-
       -both their own, and of their friends--about why, where, 
       and how the most controversial book in history fits in our
       world today. Join Michael and Lauren as they explore the 
       nature of the Bible--an ancient mosaic of story, 
       literature, history, and poetry--and what it means for 
       this generation and its relationship with God. Ultimately,
       Not What You Think is an invitation to come and see, and 
       be surprised."--|cProvided by Freading.
