Target audience: The Bible for Dummies
Pastor Shaun has just blogged about the book, The Bible for Dummies. Pastor Shuan makes an important theological point about the target audience of the Bible being "dummies."
I'm sure that Pastor Shuan would not advocate "dumbing down" the Bible, just as I do not. But his points are well taken, as he states them.

I'm not sure where I've been, but this is the first I have herd of this book! I think it has the potential of being a very interesting treatment. I hope we don't replace "regular" translations with it. Rather I hope we see it as another tool to reach people.
Hello, Joe. The Bible for Dummies is not a dumbed down translation of the Bible. Instead, it is a book with facts about the Bible for people who don't know much about the Bible.
