  Lucas Grollenberg is renowned for the natural liveliness and clarity of his writing, particularly evident in his books Jesus and Paul. The reason why he is so readable is that most of his work is done, not in a study, but with groups of people all over Holland, speaking and discussing with them the most complex questions until he is sure that communication has been established. This new book has grown directly out of his work. We may not be able to join personally in a Grollenberg discussion, but we can be caught up in his thinking as he tackles the fundamental questions arising from the Bible: the nature of Old and New Testaments, the character of the four Gospels, and Virgin Birth, the divinity of Jesus, the Resurrection and Ascension, and so on. There are also chapters about prayer and preaching. Few books have such spontaneity and charm, and convey not only the complexities of Christian believing in the modern world but also its sheer interest and enjoyment.
