Every culture keeps asking the same questions.

From drought-cracked villages to glass towers, from underground churches to skeptical universities, people still wrestle with the oldest human questions: What is a human? Why is the world broken? Why do we ache for justice, meaning, and hope beyond death?

THE BIBLE AND THE WORLD'S OLDEST QUESTIONS tackles those universal questions head-on?not with memoir, political rant, or Western clichés, but with Scripture read against the backdrop of the entire globe.

Writing as a Protestant layman, not a professional theologian, Dustin Gross traces how the Bible speaks into:

• Human identity in both individualist and collectivist cultures • Suffering in therapeutic, karmic, and spiritual-warfare frameworks • Death rituals and the fear of extinction across civilizations • Morality and justice in shame-honor, guilt-innocence, and fear-power societies • Meaning, story, worship, and the stubborn human hunger for "more than this world" • The global tension of a God who feels both hidden and obvious

Without personal anecdotes or culture-war slogans, this book shows why the Bible's answers still work everywhere: confronting every culture, correcting every idol, and offering a hope strong enough to outlive empires.

If you're tired of narrow, Western-only angles on faith, and you want to see how Scripture holds up under international scrutiny, this is your map, your argument, and your invitation to keep asking big questions on solid ground.
