"Beautiful, generative, loving, and deep: this may be the wisest Tarot book ever written. Gil Stafford finds the folly of the Cross in the journey of the Fool, and reminds us that 'Life is a pilgrimage on the path of wisdom's way.'" -Lisa Freinkel Tishman, author of Mindful Tarot

This book is a portal for those interested in the Bible and curious about the Tarot, for both those who might read the Bible daily as well as those who know very little about it but are not averse to it.

The first two chapters provide background that place the two mystical texts in conversation with each other. The vast and complex mythos of the Bible with its complex characters, actors, symbols, stories, and parables, are the backstory of the magnificent creatures of the Tarot's inner psychic world.

A book for spiritual explorers, reading the Bible and the Tarot hand-in-hand can expand the imagination. It explores how to read the Tarot and the Bible to provoke the unconscious, the dream world, and expand the imagination. By the final chapter, readers are able to connect the mysteries of the Bible with the psychological magic of the Tarot.

Industry Reviews

"For anyone coming from or living in Christian tradition who wants to understand the Tarot, start here. Gil Stafford brings together a history of Tarot, and understanding of its use in Christian traditions, and how it has increasingly grown in significance in the toolbox of spiritual directors and companions walking with the spiritually minded and those in contemplative practice." -Lil Copan, columnist and author of Little Hours: A Novel

"Gil Stafford has become my preferred guide to the woo and the weird, both of which are inseparable from Christian faith. His The Bible and the Tarot is an essential companion in my own spiritual practice. I love the way he approaches both stories as a human quest to discover the Divine." -Jessica Mesman, associate editor, Christian Century
