On pense souvent que la Bible ne met en scène que des figures exemplaires. Le Livre saint fourmille pourtant de caractères hauts en couleur, parfois résolument mauvais : Pharaon, Goliath, Athalie, Hérode... Le meurtre, la violence eet le mensonge n'y manquent pas ! Avec grand respect, Bob Hartman s'approprie le texte biblique pour nous faire découvrir, sur un mode contemporain; ces épisodes méconnus. Une autre façon de raconter la Bible, une invitation à s'interroger sur la présence du mal.
