Book Publishers Re-write Scripture....to bend to world that is at enmity with God.
"A crop of new children’s storybook Bibles aims to reach progressive Christians who are turned off by traditional presentations of Scripture, offering messages focused on diversity, inclusion and social justice.
Publishers say the projects are meant to reflect the faith values of a changing audience — and to fill what they describe as a gap in faith resources for progressive believers.
"The Just Love Story Bible," a "justice-oriented" storybook for readers ages four to 10, was released last month.
The authors said they also hope to prompt children to ask questions and challenge traditional beliefs about God, Jesus and the Biblical narrative.
"Did that happen?" Lewis said, describing how the storybook presents Jesus' resurrection. "For me, it matters more that children know that love never dies, so that’s where I landed."
"It’s OK to actually tell kids from the get-go: Some of these stories are about true people and things that really happened, and some of them are made-up stories, but they’re in there because they can still teach us true things about God," Daley-Harris said, referencing the story of Jonah.
Lewis said the book also highlights women in Jesus’ ministry and portrays Him as a "feminist."
"When Shannon and I say we don’t want children to learn something they have to unlearn, we don’t want them to learn patriarchy from this story Bible," she told RNS.
The book’s publisher, Beaming Books, says it hopes to reach progressive Christians seeking an "open-minded Bible." FOX
