New 'Postmodern' Bible Targets Seekers, Evolution Advocates

American culture has been "hijacked by extremists" - atheists and fundamentalists - one author believes. That leaves a lot of people in the "middle ground" where although there may be a belief in Jesus, their interests are far from conventional Christianity.

A new Bible series is now targeting that middle ground. The first volume of a "postmodern" edition of the Bible was released this week, reaching out to seekers and skeptics. And it also invites people of different faiths and those who believe in evolution.

"You see, I believe that if Jesus was alive today, he would understand that his ancestors, just like ours, were beasts," says Ruth Rimm, author of the new The Lost Spiritual World series.

When Rimm, a high school teacher in the Bronx borough of New York, became a Christian, she wanted to give believers who are in "the middle" a place to go – a place not threatening and of comfort. Rimm professes belief in Jesus and in evolution, which some Christians are debating as theory and not scientific fact.
