Query: Very interesting subject, writing style is hard to read...

I enjoyed the stories in this book, the 'intriguing, sin-filled' stories that permeate the Bible. Kirsch makes some excellent points throughout the text but his writing style is most difficult to read. He writes like a disinterested scholar rather than an impassioned explorer of the world's most divisive, powerful, and glorious book. I was disappointed in the writing but not the subject.
