Did the Exodus really happen? Was King David a historical figure? Why is Matthew's account of the birth of Jesus so different from Luke's? Why was St Paul so rude about St Peter? Every Biblical author wrote for their own time and their own audience In short nothing in the Bible is quite what it seems Literary critic Simon Loveday's book - a labour of love that has taken over a decade to write - is a thrilling read for Christians and anyone else which will overturn everything you thought you knew about the Good Book"
