Daniel Barker

What words come to mind when we think of God? Merciful? Just? Compassionate? A former evangelical priest says the opposite is true. Delving deep into the Bible, Dan Barker uncovers the negative qualities we can ascribe to God: jealous, petty, unforgiving, bloodthirsty, vindictive and worse! Witty and well researched, this unique atheist book explains exactly why the Scripture shouldn t govern our everyday lives. Thought provoking and compelling, it makes a powerful argument for the separation of Church and State."
