Product Description 'I could never have become a Christian, let alone a priest, if I thought the Gospels were to be taken literally. I have far too much common sense for that and am still dazed by otherwise rational people who don't. I was so lucky! From the start I was taught about Midrash.' This little book is for all the readers of The Most Intimate Place who have asked if they could have the Revd. Helen Halberds beautiful and challenging meditations on the Bible's great love stories together in one place. In this book Helen explained how the Gospels were never meant to be taken literally - that God's honest truth may have been twisted and misunderstood for centuries. She also used Midrash to express and at the same time conceal her passion for the love of her life and mentor, Neil Sarbridge. He did not read it until after her murder. 'A gripping, plausible and beautifully written literary thriller' - Laura Wilson in The Guardian of The Most Intimate Place About the Author Rosie Johnston's writing ranges from journalism to poetry via humour, plays and novels.
