Máximo García Ruíz, a renowned theologian and Baptist pastor in Spain, openly admits that the first phase of his theological training failed to resolve the numerous questions and contradictions posed by a literal reading of the biblical text, considered in its entirety identical in terms of veracity.
The author structures the work into seven chapters.
The first, introductory in nature, deals with the motives and provides general information about myths as a cosmological language that religions have used to try to explain the inexplicable.
The second chapter: "The Jewish World," starts from the fact that the Bible is a product of Eastern culture, and provides a battery of data about the Jewish world, its institutions, its festivities, its most relevant practices, to help the reader place the text in its context, as well as a brief profile of the Jewish concept of God, concluding with a reflection on the role reserved for women.
The third: "The Greco-Roman World," deals with the setting in which the New Testament was written, and in which Jesus' life unfolds. Hellenistic culture, Gnosticism, religion in Greece and Rome, all were factors that influenced the development of the text.
The fourth: "Keys to Understanding the Bible," is dedicated to unveiling some fundamental arcana for understanding the Bible, reminding us that it is a book of religion and not science, and that it has been translated from dead languages. It analyzes some of the difficulties that the transmission of the biblical text has gone through to the present day, and ends by explaining the role and nature of the Canon.
In the fifth chapter: "The Mystery of Miracles," it tackles a controversial topic in which exegetes show wide discrepancies: that of supernatural prodigies in both the Old Testament and the New Testament.
The sixth chapter: "Biblical Rereading," fully enters into the key and purpose of the book: what specifically a biblical rereading is and what it consists of. To do this, it resorts to various relevant aspects, such as analyzing the meaning of revelation, the place occupied by inspiration in the light of the Holy Spirit, and the role of culture in placing the text in its context. It supplements this with a study on the need to distinguish appropriately between sin and holiness, ethics and morals; and the importance of learning to elucidate what evil spirits are. It concludes with a note about the idea of the Afterlife.
The work closes in chapter seven: "Is the Bible the Word of God?", which the author implores the reader not to read without having first read the previous chapters. In it, he debates the issue of verbal and plenary inspiration and literal interpretation, briefly presenting the reader with the four basic positions on the matter. It is completed with a brief bibliography in accordance with the theme, which offers readers the possibility of delving deeper into its study, if they so wish.
