Many of the thoughts and ways of the people of the Holy Land during biblical times often seem strange to our modern Western minds. Robert B. Wright has mined his thirty-plus years of teaching to share the real and fascinating facts behind some of the Bible s most enigmatic phrases and stories. / Wright begins in the Old Testament, explaining why Joseph s special coat infuriated his brothers, how the ancient Israelites inquired of God, Rahab s real job description (innkeeper, not prostitute), and much more. Then Wright proves that the New Testament is no less intriguing and no less misunderstood. He shares the real meaning of the phrase eye of a needle, clarifies why Jesus and the disciples were concerned about fishing on the right or wrong side of a boat, separates fact from legend in the nativity story, and sheds light on many other confusing details. / Strange Scriptures II is full of mesmerizing information. The enigmas of the biblical text from Hebrew puns we never realized were there to how the poetry of the Psalms works to the meaning of the phrase the word of God are laid out here in clear and accessible prose. By helping readers understand these peculiar customs, Wright brings the strange and wonderful Scriptures to life.

The Old Testament can seem strange and disturbing to contemporary readers. What should Christians make of Genesis 1-3, seemingly at odds with modern scientific accounts? Why does the Old Testament contain so much violence? How should Christians handle texts that give women a second-class status? Does the Old Testament contradict itself? Why are so many Psalms filled with anger and sorrow? What should we make of texts that portray God as filled with wrath? Combining pastoral insight, biblical scholarship, and a healthy dose of humility, gifted teacher and communicator Matthew Schlimm explores perennial theological questions raised by the Old Testament. He provides strategies for reading and appropriating these sacred texts, showing how the Old Testament can shape the lives of Christians today and helping them appreciate the Old Testament as a friend in faith.

What’s that Scripture mean? Ever asked yourself this question when you’re reading through the Bible? We all have. Whether we’ve been saved a long time or are just beginning to follow Christ, there are portions of Scripture that go over our heads. They’re puzzling. Odd. Complicated. Strange. What’s baptism on behalf of the dead? (1 Corinthians 15:29) Wasn’t it rude for Jesus to call a woman a dog? (Mark 7:27) If Jesus is eternal, why is he called the firstborn? (Colossians 1:15) How can we do greater works than Christ? (John 14:12) Scriptures like these are not preached from the pulpit as commonly as our favorite texts. You rarely hear about them in your small group Bible study. And it’s definitely not easy to explain what they mean. Think of it like this: if the Bible were an apple orchard, the Scriptures we’re most familiar with are like the luscious Honeycrisp. They’re our favorites. Like, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” and “Love never fails.” But strange Scriptures are more like an unripe Granny Smith. There’s juice in it, all right, but if you want meaning and life application, you have to do a whole lot more squeezing. That’s where Strange Scriptures comes in. Within each short study, author Chris Palmer has aimed to represent scholarship, Greek exegesis, and life application to bring forth a full-bodied study to nourish your soul.

God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.
