Hoffman walks the reader through dozens of mistranslations misconceptions and other misunderstandings about the Bible. In forty short straightforward chapters he covers morality life-style theology and biblical imagery including: *The Bible doesn''t call homosexuality a sin and it doesn''t advocate for the one-man-one-woman model of the family that has been dubbed biblical. *The Bible''s famous beat their swords into plowshares is matched by the militaristic beat your plowshares into swords. *The often-cited New Testament quotation God so loved the world is a mistranslation as are the titles Son of Man and Son of God. *The Ten Commandments don''t prohibit killing or coveting.What does the Bible say about violence? About the Rapture? About keeping kosher? About marriage and divorce? Hoffman provides answers to all of these and more succinctly explaining how so many pivotal biblical answers came to be misunderstood.
