Having found the gain to himself, and to some others, in the added light on Bible terms and truths by these explanations and corrections, the writer presents the statements and suggestions herewith, hoping that they may help still others. Yet none of the views here expressed are to be accepted by a Bible reader unless he find them to be conformable to Bible teachings on his more careful study. But in any event good can hardly fail to come of readers being stimulated to a closer examination of the grounds for believing or of questioning as to the ideas they have been accustomed to connect with certain Bible words and terms and truths. - Preface.

Excerpt from Our Misunderstood Bible: Common Errors About Bible Texts and Truths No book is, in its more important truths, easier to understand than the Bible. Yet, at the same time, no book has suffered more than the Bible from being misunderstood at important points, as well as in other particulars. Some of these misunderstandings are easily accounted for, and might be easily removed; others are not easily accounted for, yet have prevailed, without being accounted for, from generation to generation. There are many difficulties growing out of the radical differences between Oriental and Occidental methods of thought and speech, and customs and practises. Even such terms as "love" and "hate" can hardly be comprehended by a Westerner, as an Easterner would employ them, and on such a difference as this two schools of theology might array themselves in determined and persistent opposition. Again, the Oriental method of poetic imagery in ordinary speech is well nigh incomprehensible to the Occidental, accustomed as he is to cling to the letter of the text that killeth, as over against the spirit of a figure or an illustration that would give life.

Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...and again it warns against love as a temptation; therefore, it is not to be supposed that love, either in its good sense or its bad, is merely a matter of feeling. The truth is, there is "love," and there is "love." Both in the Hebrew and in the Greek, there are several words, of different shades of meaning, which are alike translated " love; " and this is a prime cause of the ambiguity of the English word which is taken to represent them all. The root idea of the Hebrew word which stands for divine love, and for the holiest love of which man is capable, is that of "giving," of "outgiving;" it applies to an unselfish attitude of being, rather than to an emotion, or feeling, of the soul. The idea of another Hebrew word, also translated "love," is that of lust, or of selfish indulgence. These two words, of diametrically opposite meanings, are translated by a single word in our English tongue; and it is much the same with the Greek as with the Hebrew. What wonder that the average English reader is confused in finding " love " used in one connection in the sense of an unselfish outgiving of devotion, and in another connection in the sense of selfish craving or of sinful desire! Our English word " love " is represented in the Sanskrit, with the original meaning of "covetousness, " or of " selfish longing." Another Sanskrit word for "love" stands for our word "friendship, " with the central thought of a generous outgiving of self. Hence there is " love" that is love, and there is " love " that is not love. There is love that represents an attitude of being which is approved of God and of man; and there is...

Understanding Isn’t Overrated. Ask any woman—most of us know what it’s like to be misheard, mischaracterized, or misrepresented by family, friends, or strangers. Few of us feel deeply known and understood all the time. Worse, many of us have endured long, painful seasons of misunderstanding in which the people around us have questioned—or worse, judged—our motives and actions. We have asked ourselves, How do I correct these misperceptions? Do I try to defend myself—or does that only make me look guilty? How can I recover my joy even if someone believes something about me that isn’t true? This problem—and your feelings and questions about it—is nothing new. In fact, women have faced it since the dawn of time. In this engaging book, Mary DeMuth tells the tales of ten women in the Bible who were misunderstood in their own time and often still are—bringing to each of them a deep humanity that makes her, and her problems, more relatable to twenty-first-century you. If you are struggling with feeling misunderstood, let these stories inspire you to grow and remind you that you are not alone. And remember: There is always One who understands you perfectly and stands ready to comfort, strengthen, and defend you through every situation you face.

Do believe that God wants you to be financially prosperous (Joshua 1:8)? Do you think that Christians must ""forgive and forget"" (Jeremiah 31:34)? Do you suppose that everything will work for your good (Romans 8:28), or wonder if God will ever give you more than you can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13)? If you do, best-selling author Robert Van Voorst will help you to reexamine these verses, and many others, to see what they really mean. This book treats twenty-four of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible. Each is given concise but careful treatment, including an explanation of how they are misunderstood, what their meaning is, and what this meaning says to us today. Each chapter has questions for reflection and discussion. Written especially for use in church classes and Bible study groups, but also suitable for individual reading, this book will stimulate your growth in the Christian faith and give you more confidence in understanding the Bible and applying it to your life. ""If you teach the Bible, preach regularly, or are a student of the Bible with a growing desire to know it better, this is a must-have. Commonly Misunderstood Verses of the Bible corrects the false interpretations we often uncritically accept about many biblical verses and concepts. It is another sterling example of the first-rate scholarship Robert Van Voorst makes accessible to the life of the Church."" --Brand W. Eaton, United Methodist pastor, Board Certified Chaplain ""With exegetical skill, clear prose, and pastoral warmth, Van Voorst looks at two dozen such passages. Just skim through the table of contents, and you will not be able to put down this book without reading a chapter! Van Voorst will make you think carefully about how to handle the Scripture."" --Robert L. Plummer, Founder and Host, www.DailyDoseOfGreek.com ""Robert Van Voorst has created an indispensable resource for both clergy and laity. He delightfully combines astute biblical insights with contemporary illustrations as he provocatively, yet graciously, overturns many of our long-held misunderstandings of key Bible verses. I have read similarly-themed works; this is by far my favorite. I look forward to using this wonderfully readable book as the foundation for an upcoming small-group Bible study."" --Lou Kaloger, Pastor, Tampa Covenant Church ""This new book by Robert Van Voorst is a rich mine of enlightening information and significant wisdom. Van Voorst demonstrates courage and awareness in addressing the common misunderstandings of twenty-four well-known Bible verses. Misunderstandings exist and are perpetuated because inadequate or even erroneous information obscures sound interpretations of key biblical passages. Indeed, the misunderstandings of these verses are not only poor interpretations; they also generate problematic applications of the misunderstandings to the concerns of everyday life. In his enlightening Introduction, Van Voorst discusses the frequently encountered problem of understanding verses of the Bible. He considers the reaction of certain people when questions are raised concerning the legitimacy of their own particular interpretations of Bible verses, and he then offers suggestions for how to read the Bible better. Van Voorst steps into this ongoing process of misunderstanding and misapplication with important and accurate information, insight, and much commonsense for understanding these commonly misconstrued parts of the Bible. The book does not simply identify and challenge problems in comprehension; the chapters work clearly and carefully in an encouraging way to teach factual materials, to demonstrate how to identify the plain sense of the Bible, and to model sound ways to think about and to relate elements of the Bible to living. Van Voorst shows that careful interpretation of the Bible is crucial, and he demonstrates that such interpretation does not have to belong solely to trained experts. Rather, careful study of the Bible and drawi
