Challenges and Controversies of the Bible
The Bible contains various challenges and controversies that late modern western people, including Portlanders, struggle with, such as weird stories like Ruth sleeping at Boaz's feet and Jacob not recognizing Leah on his wedding night. The text includes cringe-worthy content like polygamy and sexual assault, along with miraculous events that are difficult for late modern secular individuals to believe in. Moreover, the teachings in the Bible often contradict the beliefs of both the progressive left and the conservative right, leaving individuals from all spectrums dissatisfied at times.
