Summer Book Study | Inspired by Rachel Held Evans
“Inspired” centers on the idea that the Bible is a living, breathing, and confounding text rather than a static science textbook, instruction manual, or political position paper. Evans draws on her own transition from a rigid evangelical upbringing to an open, communal faith tradition. She invites readers to ask difficult questions, such as:
▪️Why does a book meant to explain life’s mysteries leave the reader with so many unanswered questions?
▪️How can a text that has historically given a voice to the oppressed simultaneously be used by oppressors to justify violence, misogyny, and slavery?
▪️What does it truly mean for a text to be “divinely inspired” when it carries so many obvious human fingerprints?
