In fact, trusting the Bible may be a lot like trusting another person. The person you trust most is not the one you’re willing to bring only your best self and your unquestioning loyalty, but the one you’ll entrust with all of your complicated self. To trust someone deeply is to trust her not just with your hopes and joys, but with your doubts and your fears, your anxieties and vexations. So it is with the Bible.
