A Bible Pop Quiz

Most of us are aware of the dangers of taking every word of the Bible "literally". This article, recently published in the Holland Sentinel, Holland, Michigan, is a 15 question quiz, with Biblical citations. The author, Rev. Miguel de la Torre, a religion professor who has published several books dealing with issues concerning race, class and gender, concludes with this exhortation:
To worship the Lord your God with all your mind means to wrestle with the text, demanding to see God's face, even if at times, like Jacob, one walks away limping.
I found this article through a posting by Bruce Jarfster on the Dignity Discussion List, a Yahoo group that I've been reading for over a year.
