Badly Behaved Bible
We're told that the Bible is beautiful, uplifting and a joy to read - but, while we know this is how we're supposed to feel about it, in reality many of us find the very opposite. On opening the Bible, we are faced with a multitude of problems; from its form and historical content to its sheer size and often distasteful stories, we can be left feeling overwhelmed and disheartened. But the problem is not with the Bible - and it's not with us either.The problem is we've been misinformed. And so, we end up believing things about the Bible that the Bible never claims for itself. But the Bible won't politely sign up to the neat categories and terms we force on it. That's why it's badly behaved. We want to control the Bible and tame it so that we can ride it into battle; but the Bible bucks and rears and throws us off. We want to pin the Bible down so that it proves our theology; but the Bible evades capture and plays hide and seek. We want answers; but the Bible keeps firing questions. We want it to tell us what to do; but the Bible keeps telling us to think. We want to make the Bible dance to our but the Bible has music of its own. The Bible is an invitation and a call. The breath of God lifts its pages, and they rise and fall with his breathing.In his honest and accessible style, Nick Page urges us to re-discover a fresh look at the Bible as thescriptural bedrock of the Christian faith, to learn how we can undo unhelpful ways of reading it anddemystifying its purpose and scope.Nick tackles what the Bible is and what it isn't, how we can critically read this inspired text and how we approach the difficulties in its content.Alongside helpful analysis and practical advice - including kickstarting his one-man campaign to ban"Bible study" - Nick helps us re-discover how to rediscover the Bible as Holy Ground, as a place where we meet and encounter God.

I'm not really one for eloquent Goodreads reviews but AAAAH this book is really good. It is challenging, enlightening and, at least for me, pretty revolutionary. If you care about the Bible in any way whatsoever - or perhaps if you don't - you should give it a read.

I absolutely loved this book.
Whilst is could be easy to attribute that to Nick Page’s incredibly engaging and easy writing style, for me, the core message of ‘The Badly Behaved Bible’ resonated far deeper than I could have possibly first imagined.
"We expect the Bible to fit into our mould – but the Bible wants to break this mould, to shape us to be more like Christ… Too often we come to the Bible as a text to be dissected or mastered or interpreted correctly. The Bible is a book that burns with the presence of God and is not consumed. What the Bible really is, is Holy Ground."
Seeing this written down in a book, written by a man that clearly loves the bible and Jesus, was so powerfully refreshing. It is possible to love Jesus and to struggle with the questions that plague so many Christians around the world. It’s not often you hear or see this.
Using a brilliant combination of academia, story and wit, Nick Page does a superb job of deconstructing some of the myths surrounding the bible, and engages us in the difficult discussions, discrepancies and inconsistencies one may come across when opening up the book for the first or five hundredth time.
Let me make this clear: Nick Page in no way discredits or damages the bible, but he invites each of us into a deeper encounter as we open the text: to go beyond the same narratives and beliefs, and to think for ourselves.
John Wimber once said, “The bible isn’t the meal; it’s the menu.” The last 15% of this book beautifully illustrates this, turning our eyes back to the one that matters most: Jesus.
"The Bible is not an encyclopaedia of doctrine, with everything already worked out. The Bible shows the working-out going on. It is, in fact, the very history of the working-out, like seeing a live stream of people gradually understanding more and more about God. And this is a trajectory and not an end-point. This working out didn’t stop at the last page of the Bible. Beyond that, the early church had a lot of thinking to do about the nature of God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit... People will insist on trying to turn the Bible into a systematic theology. But the Bible refuses to behave that way. There’s nothing systematic about the Bible, largely because it’s about humans who, despite valiant efforts throughout the centuries by various philosophers and sages, generally tend to prefer unsystematic thinking. The Bible isn’t a unified theology, but it is a unified story. Stories don’t deal in systematic thought. Stories may be used to challenge and explain, to connect and to work things out, but they do it by inviting us to think, not telling us what to think. "

You know when you read a Nick page book you are going to get a different perspective. This one did not disappoint. Nick manages to discuss theological issues in a way that is easy to understand. In this book, he takes a (some may say irreverent) look at the bible. However, despite the style I did not find this book irreverent or flippant in the slightest. It outlines truths about the bible which made me think completely differently about how I approach my reading of it. He tackles many of thew more difficult passages and outlines what was meant in the regional Greek and how translations may have become confused. He does this in a style that made me want to keep reading and I learned so much about the bible, the text and the way it was put together.
This book is excellent, eminently readable and brings new perspective to the narrative within the books of the bible. I can highly recommend it to all Christians.
I was given a copy of this book from the publisher. At no point was I asked to review it. The review is based on my reading, and enjoyment, of the book.

An extraordinary book. I have read the Bible a few times but this book opened my eyes to how it should read. Accept the contradictions and find the message within.

5 stars - I loved this book - Inspirational, intelligent, intriguing & invigorating.
Nick Page’s writing style is engaging and very easy to read.
Whether you're a Christian, agnostic or atheist this book is a refreshing revelation into how you should approach and treat the collection of books that is the Bible. Whether you believe these works are a basis of belief and theology or just an interesting collection of ancient literature and philosophy - you need to read Nick Page’s book to help define (and redefine) how you should think about what the Bible actually is and how to approach it.
Nick Page very skilfully shows us that the Bible uses lots of different genres of writing - poetry, prose, letters, law, etc We can’t just treat it as one thing or one genre or just say ‘this is the literal word of God’ - full stop, no further comment - it’s a lot more nuanced than this. He goes on to argue that if we treat it like this - as a monolithic ‘one size fits all’ piece of literature, then a lot is missed out in understanding and interpretation. We end up in a state of cognitive dissonance - believing/thinking of it all as one thing, rather than really understanding what it is actually is and what it is saying about the people who wrote it down.
We have to identify what kind of writing we're dealing with, because we don't read them all the same way. We read a poem like Song of Solomon very differently from how we read the Gospels, or the letters of Paul.
So a key question to ask yourself about ANY biblical text is:
Because a lot of the arguments about the Bible are really arguments about what kind of writing we're dealing with.
Nick argues that the text of the Bible makes more sense if you break it down and look at each part individually rather than approach it as if it were just one book. If you treat it like this and then approach it, as we inevitably do, with pre-conceived ideas of what we think it is or what it should be - then you get a ‘Badly behaved Bible’ - we think its one thing, but it refuses to be that ‘one thing’

I went looking for the 2 and 3 star reviews so I could bounce my review off of what they had to say, but I only found one or two that had nothing written as to why they gave the book that low of stars. (I did do some sleuthing on those readers accounts to see what types of books they did read and they appeared to be of the mindset that everything -- or almost everything -- in the Bible is literal.) Everyone else (thus far) has given the book 4 and 5 stars. Well, I own the book, and I'm buying at least two more for friends, and I'm re-reading the book, so 5 stars it is.
I have read The Bible Tells Me So...by Peter Enns (I own that one as well) so I wasn't a novice coming into this subject; however, after reading both, I would recommend Page's book if you can only afford one. Enns has a tinge of crusty sarcastic edge to it. Page's tone is a bit more gentle and humorous (or maybe it's just that way to me). I am familiar with his humor through reading three of his previous books. What I also know about Page is that his research is thorough (and, yes, exegesis and hermeneutics and all that). (N.B. If you ever have to spell hermeneutics, just keep throwing in 'e's until you get to the third 'e' and then throw in a 'u'.)
Page's book is going to challenge the thinking of those who want the Bible to be infallible as if the Trinity and the Bible were one and the same. What I didn't expect was how much I would be inspired to read the Bible and as Page says to let it be "a place of encounter, a place we come to be transformed by God." As a textbook (the Bible, that is), it doesn't seem to be doing much in the way of transforming (just my side note, take that however you will). The blurbs on the back cover are actually accurate for describing the book.
I have way too much underlining and starred sections (and, yes, I confess, even one dog-eared page because I couldn't find a pen but I wanted to both highlight the page and keep on reading) to put any quotes in this review. I'd like to quote the last page; however, that might be a plot spoiler...

Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it was certainly mine! A refreshing read.

This book by Nick Page is another book about how the Bible does not meet our modern expectations of it. From our modern perspective, it "behaves badly". It covers much of the same ground as Peter Enns book, The Bible Tells Me So: Why Defending Scripture Has Made Us Unable To Read It but Nick Page does it in a more entertaining way.
In this book, the author discusses who wrote the various books in the Bible, when and how these books were gathered together to become what we know of as the Bible today, what types/styles of writing are included. The Bible is a collection of smaller stories that make up an overarching larger story about God and how He relates to people. And it is full of metaphors. As such, it not really possible to read the Bible "literally" without it becoming nonsense. No one, not even the most stringent fundamentalist Christian, reads the Bible 100% literally.
As you would expect, it spends considerable time discussing well known contradictions in the Bible itself and the ways different books written in different time periods argue with each other about who God is and what He wants. It also addresses Bible passages that are disturbing to our modern sensibilities. Throughout this book, the author encourages you to read these passages and wrestle with them yourself.
For me, the one thing that stood out is how the Bible describes the Scriptures as "God-breathed", not "God-written".
God has breathed His life into the Bible, so we need to "let the Bible breathe God's life into us". "The Bible was written and compiled by humans, but God filled it with His presence." And this means that our approach to the Bible needs to be different from the way we usually read it. Here's a sampling of some of Nick Page's suggestions for us:
- "the first thing to do whenever we open the Bible is to approach with prayer"
- "expect to hear from God" but "don't come with a fixed agenda"
- "participate in the story", "respond to the text"
- "ask questions", "be prepared to go where they take us"
The other thing that stood out for me was Nick Page's Christ-centric approach to the Bible. "We should read the Bible in light of what we know about God. And what we know is that He is Christlike. It's not just that Jesus is like God, it's also that God is like Jesus. God is Christlike, and in Him is no unChristlikeness at all." This approach can be useful when trying to differentiate between what God is really like versus what people at a particular point in history thought God was like.
I found this book to be really helpful as well as thought-provoking. I'd encourage anyone who is interested in the Bible and has struggled with what is written in it to give this book a try.
I'll leave you with one last quote from this book:

So open the book. Inhale the breath of God. Become the story.

A lively, hard-hitting and often funny book about the Bible - and what many modern readers really think of it and feel about it. Nick Page engages us on all the difficulties and baffling discrepancies and inconsistencies and contradictions we may wrestle with and object to, and does so from the position that it is simply not acceptable to regard the Bible as "the unerring and infallible word of God", never mind insist on understanding much of it literally. He handles this often with a very dry humour.
He argues that the true problem lies with the way we approach the Bible; it is a collection of books, written by many different people at different times, which was only put together in its current form after a huge amount of discussion through many decades by another diverse group of people.
He handles the subject with a sharp critical mind, an acute sense of the ridiculous, and a conviction of the real mythic, spiritual power of the great universal themes which stalk this collection of writings. I enjoyed his bold and challenging style. I must admit there was one section when I felt as if I was reading Richard Dawkins. But Nick Page, whilst observing the same things and acknowledging them, comes to very different conclusions. I am thinking specifically of Dawkins' remark about the Old Testament God being "the most unpleasant character in fiction".
Nick Page does not evade this fact or treat it like "an elephant in the room" - he faces it directly and his survey and rejection of all the predictable proposed solutions is excellent, and often very funny. His thoughts and observations are fascinating. Highly recommended.

We started attending church a little over a year ago, for various reasons. Since then I've been investigating the Bible, but it has variously made me confused, angry, and sad. Many people have tried to help me read it, and I do love reading long books, but nothing has really helped.
This book is a great idea, not particularly well executed. It enlightened me as to the inconsistencies and historical background to the creation of the Bible, and why some of the things that made me mad appear there. I love etymology and the history of books so it was really interesting. Regardless of whether you are of any religion, the bible is is probably one of the most important books you will come across, so it bears investigation.
However, this book had numerous typographical errors in it, which made for annoying reading, and there were several sections, where the author turns to preaching rather than analysing, that were rather waffly and didn't get their point across as neatly as I would have expected.

Nick Page's main contention is that the Bible refuses to be pinned down. It was not written as a coherent whole; it's a mishmash of styles and genres; it's not chronological; and it shows distinct signs of having been edited and re-edited as the authors' understandings developed over the centuries. And that is the whole point of it. You have to delve into the messiness and bad behaviour and that is where you find the message. Ultimately Nick Page describes a book that is far more flexible than any fundamentalist would have it be and far more illuminating than anyone who thinks it's just a bunch of myths would have said. It's liberating. Whatever your views on the Bible, this book will probably challenge them - which can only be a good thing, right?
April 16, 2025
Nick Page writes with humour and approachability, which is good, because he tends towards quite difficult subjects. This is the third book of his I've read, and I find him to be consistently fascinating, entertaining, and well sourced, which means of course that I can double check where he's getting all his strange ideas. I can't recommend his books enough; he manages to walk the very fine line of treating the holy Scriptures with respect, but not so much as to forego getting his fingerprints all over the pages. I imagine his Bible is probably very well thumbed. I'll be keeping this book to hand to keep me humble the next time I start imagining that I can read the Scriptures 'correctly'.
September 13, 2022
Maybe 4.5*, Nick Page looks at how the book we know as the Bible was put together and asks pertinent questions about how it should be read. If you think the words were given to the writers by dictation then it’s probably not a book for you. If you have an open mind and are happy to look at some of the difficult parts with fresh eyes, then you should get a lot from this book. Whatever view you have of the scriptures it is important to hear what God is saying. If that challenges your theology then perhaps what you have been taught is incorrect. Definitely worth reading.

This book says some things that simply needed to be said about the bible. It's funny, but well researched, and doesn't set out to damage the bible, but explain why it's such a difficult book for most people to deal with. Hopefully by reading this, others will be able to deal with the problems that the bible poses, and thus actually make it more accessible.
This is an easy book to read, and you'll probably want a copy of the bible next to you as you read through it.

A great book
This is a really refreshing look at the Bible and how we read it and engage with it. It’s the first ‘theology’ book Ive read for a while and I enjoyed it a lot. It’s made me think a lot and I enjoyed re-reading the familiar Bible texts with a different lens. I’m really looking forward to spending some time thinking about what I’ve learned and applying it in my Bible reading.

An open and very revealing look at the bible. It challenged me, my faith and how I think about the bible. It was very easy to read and I would recommend this to everyone who is even remotely involved in any kind of ministry or even thinking about it.
November 19, 2023
Definitely worth a read. Can't remember the last time I actually finished a Christian non fiction book. Good for either new Christians approaching Bible for first time or old hays who have become a bit sceptic.
September 2, 2020
Best book I’ve read in quite some time. Makes you think. Makes you want to dive deeper into the bible.
January 28, 2022
If youarezsimeone who finds they have fallen out of love with the Bible this excellent book may help you to begin to fall back in again.
April 27, 2023
Fascinating, funny, easy to read and informative - made me want to go and do my own research about some of the claims!
January 20, 2025
Really helpful--a way of talking about the Bible that parallels my intuitions on how to think about the church. No mental gymnastics required.
