Unholy Dilemma 2, a search for logic in the New Testament, was not written to either bolster or undermine one’s faith. Nor is it intended to trash the Bible per se. In fact, neither this book, nor Unholy Dilemma, is exclusively intended for Christian listeners. The Bible is a book like any other book, i.e., a set number of handwritten or printed pages, sewn, stapled, or glued together on one side and bound in a protective cover. The word “Bible” comes from the Greek word biblia, which means “book.”
