Ed Suominen is an engineer, inventor, recovering fundamentalist Christian, and author. His books include, "An Examination of the Pearl," and "Evolving out of Eden," which Ed co-wrote with Dr. Robert M. Price.

Ed also writes "Ed Suominen's Shitty Little Blog," which can be found at http://blog.edsuom.com, and one year ago, his retelling of the biblical story of Abraham was read by Seth Andrews in a podcast titled, "Abraham's Excellent Adventure." (LISTEN HERE: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thethinkingatheist/2015/06/23/abrahams-excellent-adventure)

In a story written and produced specifically for this broadcast (and again performed by Seth Andrews), Ed explores the implications of Yahweh's commands in Deuteronomy 22, prompting the listener to (hopefully) review and re-examine the goodness of the Bible...the supposedly Good Book.
