""Christians can ignore the facts that Stark brings into the light of day only if they want to be wrong."" --Dale C. Allison, Jr. author of Constructing Jesus ""The Human Faces of God is one of the most challenging and well-argued cases against the doctrine of biblical inerrancy I have ever read."" --Greg A. Boyd author of The Myth of a Christian Nation ""I learned so much from this book that I can strongly encourage anyone who is seeking to move from simplistic proof-texting to a comprehensive understanding of the Bible to read this book carefully."" --Tony Campolo author of Red Letter Christians ""This is must reading for Christians who have agonized over their own private doubts about Scripture--and for others who have given up hope that evangelical Christians can practice intelligent, moral interpretation of the Bible."" --Neil Elliott author of Liberating Paul ""[W]ith the help of this book, we may discover that the Bible--when we read it in all its diversity and vulnerability--does bring healing words to those who keep listening."" --Ted Grimsrud author of Embodying the Way of Jesus ""Stark's book effectively demonstrates how the Bible, in practice, is the most dangerous enemy of fundamentalists."" --James F. McGrath author of The Only True God ""Stark provides a model for theology that is committed to hearing the voice of the victims of history, especially the victims of our own religious traditions."" --Michael J. Iafrate PhD Candidate, Toronto School of Theology ""This book is the most powerful antidote to fundamentalism that I've ever read."" --Frank Schaeffer author of Crazy for God
