Unholy Dilemma 2, a search for logic in the New Testament, was not written to either bolster or undermine one’s faith. Nor is it intended to trash the Bible per se. In fact, neither this book, nor Unholy Dilemma, is exclusively intended for Christian listeners. The Bible is a book like any other book, i.e., a set number of handwritten or printed pages, sewn, stapled, or glued together on one side and bound in a protective cover. The word “Bible” comes from the Greek word biblia, which means “book.”

Many theologians, Bible scholars, and others have written commentaries on the Old Testament. And almost without exception, they have attempted to explain the intent and spiritual implications represented by the conflicting statements of the ancient writers without taking issue with the content itself. Unholy Dilemma: A Search for Logic in the Old Testament departs from the approach of presuming to divine what the ancient writers meant to say, and merely examines what they actually did say.
