If you want to know about the Way of Life - the Path of God - then read Holy Scripture. Read not only texts of holy men and women, of the great traditions and their prophets. Read also the universe its self as Holy Text. Read it from the big bang to now, the unfolding of life from energy to matter, from matter into organic life, organic life to Consciousness. Read the discoverys of science and philosophy, of history and art. Read the texts of humanity as Holy Texts, because in these texts is the voice of God.
The bible is a library of early Christian expierence. Among its books are contradictions, reversals and etc. To focus on that it to miss the true mystery of that holy text. People in community, touched by God, responded with story, history, song and poetry. They left an ongoing conversation of faith. They left an open work that we participate in now - talking, contradicting, wrestling with the Way of Life.
