Author Description

God's Word Even though the Bible is, according to the author, "an amazing collection of various forms of inspired literature gathered over 1,100 years," it also promotes various historical accounts, political, economic, legal and theological viewpoints. This book of many chapters covers what Christians consider to be the beginning of time through a forecast of what is to come, and has delivered a profound impact on human history. The Bible has helped shape societies, inspired heroism and presented topics for renowned artists. On the other hand, it has been used to incite wars, discriminate against a variety of cultures, and promote violence against diversity, gender or sexual orientation. Fundamentalists believe that God has dictated every word of the Bible to individual authors, while mainline scholars believe God used human authors to reveal a divine plan, and each book should be comprehended for its historical, sociological and political context. Regardless of what the reader believes, God's Word is an insightful summary of many biblical passages and historical events causing us to rethink our initial interpretations, and giving inspired suggestions to further develop an understanding and theories of a manuscript inspired by events and teachings as old as time itself. Peter Carli is a native of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This book represents his Catholic upbringing in the 50's, his ideological formation during the turbulent 60's, his 22 years of ministry as a priest, and his social work experience in hospice, child protective services and domestic violence. He holds Master degrees in theology and counseling. He resides with his wife Carol in Milford, Pa.
