Shockingly, Satan was one of the good guys, and botha serpent and a donkey had conversations with humans. Believe itor not, an early church bragged about a member who was sleepingwith his mother. Jesus was not born in mid-winter, and Matthewand Luke were both plagiarists. And, what if you knew the Biblenowhere recommends that Christians tithe? These heart-stoppingtopics, at times deadly serious and other times quite funny, willbe put under the microscope in 17. It’s a grab bag—you can nevertell what going to pop up next.By blending humor with earnest inquiry, 17 is engaging readersto reconsider what they thought they knew about Christianity,presenting a liberating call for deeper understanding and personalgrowth in one’s faith journey.
