Asking Better Questions of the Bible Releasing in February 2023
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (November 18, 2022) – NavPress is pleased to announce a book deal with Marty Solomon, creator and executive producer of The BEMA Podcast. Solomon’s first book, Asking Better Questions of the Bible: A Guide for the Wounded, Wary, and Longing for More, will release in February 2023.
With 5 million episode downloads and more than 96,000 engaged listeners, The BEMA Podcast is an Apple Top 30 Religion podcast that urges listeners to engage in a contextual study of Scripture. It has provided an anchor for curious Christians in an age of deconstruction. Asking Better Questions of the Bible will lead readers on a wonder-filled tour of Scripture, helping them consider the assumptions and contexts of the original writers in order to discover a more dynamic and life-giving relationship with the God who inspired the Text.
“From the first time we met Marty, we felt such a sense of shared mission: to bring Scripture to life in fresh ways and to approach discipleship with a posture of openhanded curiosity,” said David Zimmerman, Publisher, NavPress. “This book is more than just a thought exercise—it helps us rediscover what it means to be in awe of the God of the Word.”
In Asking Better Questions of the Bible, Solomon sets the stage with an examination of Eastern and Western thinking and how each gives us tools for studying the Bible. Using that framework, the book walks through each of the different genres of Scripture, introducing different lenses and questions from the original context that equip the reader to navigate the tensions of Scripture and encounter more of the mystery of God.
Marty Solomon is a theologian and the president and director of discipleship for Impact Campus Ministries (impacttheu.com). He and his wife, Rebekah, live in Cincinnati with their two children. Find out more about Marty at martysolomon.com.
Solomon is represented by Ingrid Beck of the Bindery. World rights were acquired by NavPress Senior Editor Caitlyn Carlson.
