The book, presented as a series of questions aimed at religious authorities, highlights troubling aspects of biblical narratives and the moral implications derived from them. In the text, the anonymous author lays out a multitude of provocative inquiries regarding scriptural accounts, questioning not only the historical veracity of these events but also the moral integrity of the actions attributed to God and biblical figures such as David and Moses. Through a satirical and critical lens, the author probes issues such as the nature of miracles, the interpretation of creation and divine will, and instances of seemingly cruel judgments, revealing a deeper commentary on the nature of faith and reason. The work ultimately reflects the tension between emerging rationalist thought and traditional religious beliefs, as the author seeks reasoned clarifications from the Church to these profound doubts.
