Perspectives on the Bible God's Word in Ordinary Language Izak J. J. Spangenberg

Recently voices have been heard saying that the Bible is not literally Gods word, but rather the word of God in ordinary Human language. Sometimes people say that the Bible is nothing more than words about God. 
Spangenberg attempts to formulate a contemporary perspective on the Bible. He shows that the Bible is a book that can greatly assist us in our reflections on God and in our quest for meaning in life. If we use it wisely, it can indeed serve as a guide. Essentially, however, in the author's opinion, the Bible is not intended as a book  of law with which we are to judge other people.
