How to Read the Bible Well: What It Is What It Isn't and How To Love It (Again)

How to Read the Bible Well takes on the big questions about the Bible that weve always wanted to ask. What do people mean when they say its the Word of God? In what way exactly? How can an ancient world text be offering supposedly timeless truths? Can we really take what the Bible says as authoritative for life today? Isnt it obviously sexist and outdated? Do we have to believe in Adam and Eve and the world being made in six days? Why did God command genocide in the Old Testament? Are people really going to burn in hell for eternity? Why is there evil and suffering in the world? And how can we explain the Big Story of the Bible from cover to cover in ways that will make sense to people today? Stephen Burnhope suggests there are very good answers to all of these questions and more-once we know how to read the Bible well!
