Kara Martin reviews Christopher Wright’s The God I Don’t Understand
Christopher Wright is a great Old Testament scholar. His work on Old Testament ethics for the people of God has been foundational in my understanding of the character of God through the laws he laid down.
So to have him admit that there are difficult parts of Scripture, for which pat answers will not suffice, is… spirit warming. Some evangelical writers are so adamant in their writing that they leave no room for doubt, no room for mystery, no room for limits in human understanding!
Read it all.

Sounds like a fascinating book! Skimmed the customer reviews at Amazon, and they were largely positive.
