A “witty and accessible look at Scripture” that explores what the Bible meant before two millennia of mistranslations and misinterpretations (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In this fascinating book, acclaimed translator and biblical scholar Dr. Joel M. Hoffman walks the reader through dozens of mistranslations, misconceptions, and other misunderstandings about the Bible. In forty short, straightforward chapters, he covers morality, lifestyle, theology, and biblical imagery, including: The Bible doesn’t call homosexuality a sin, and 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.

This second edition includes new material suggested by students in several class settings. In addition, indexes of scripture texts and subjects of discussion are now included. Beginning with Adam's rib and ending up with "Where is Heaven?" the writer looks carefully at seven things which "everyone knows" and yet which turn out to be rather different in the Bible or, in one case, actually missing. In each instance, he begins with "what the Bible doesn't say" and moved on to "what it does." Far from seeking to debunk any of these things, however, he notes things in the text which are "hidden in plain sight" and which give it fuller and richer meaning. Adam's rib, for instance, turns out, in the Hebrew text, not really to be a rib, after all; yet this discovery opens the text wider, rather than undermining it. The well-known story of the fall of Satan is found not to be in the Bible, although its source is discovered along with a greater understanding of the Foe who confronts us but whom we need not fear. What do we know about Jesus' descent into hell? And is Paradise heaven? Or is it in a different location that gives us even greater hope? The book does more than just probe interesting questions. The issues are indeed fascinating, but the approach itself is one that encourages paying close attention to the details of what is actually written as opposed to what we have always assumed is there. When all is said and done, we find that what the Bible actually does say is far greater than we previously imagined.

The Bible you usually read is not the complete story. Some holy writings were left out for political or theological reasons, others simply because of the physical restrictions of ancient bookmaking technology. At times, the compilers of the Bible skipped information that they assumed everyone knew. Some passages were even omitted by accident. In The Bible's Cutting Room Floor, acclaimed author and translator Dr. Joel M. Hoffman gives us the stories and other texts that didn't make it into the Bible even though they offer penetrating insight into the Bible and its teachings. The Book of Genesis tells us about Adam and Eve's time in the Garden of Eden, but not their saga after they get kicked out or the lessons they have for us about good and evil. The Bible introduces us to Abraham, but it doesn't include the troubling story of his early life, which explains how he came to reject idolatry to become the father of monotheism. And while there are only 150 Psalms in today's Bible, there used to be many more. Dr. Hoffman deftly brings these and other ancient scriptural texts to life, exploring how they offer new answers to some of the most fundamental and universal questions people ask about their lives. An impressive blend of history, linguistics, and religious scholarship, The Bible's Cutting Room Floor reveals what's missing from your Bible, who left it out, and why it is so important.

Peter Enns recounts his transformative spiritual journey in which he discovered a new, more honest way to love and appreciate God's Word. Trained as an evangelical Bible scholar, Peter Enns loved the Scriptures and shared his devotion, teaching at Westminster Theological Seminary. But the further he studied the Bible, the more he found himself confronted by questions that could neither be answered within the rigid framework of his religious instruction or accepted among the conservative evangelical community. Rejecting the increasingly complicated intellectual games used by conservative Christians to 'protect' the Bible, Enns was conflicted. Is this what God really requires? How could God's plan for divine inspiration mean ignoring what is really written in the Bible? These questions eventually cost Enns his job - but they also opened a new spiritual path for him to follow. The Bible Tells Me So chronicles Enns' spiritual odyssey, how he came to see beyond restrictive doctrine and learned to embrace God's Word as it is actually written. As he explores questions progressive evangelical readers of Scripture commonly face yet fear voicing, Enns reveals that they are the very questions that God wants us to consider - the essence of our spiritual study.

Stop lying - the Bible doesn't teach that! The reason I wrote this book is because I am tired of the many lies, false and manipulative teachings that continue to be disseminated within our churches, especially in small local churches. With that said I present to you not what I believe but what the Bible says and teaches. Who am I? I am no one. I am simply an individual who grew up in the Catholic Church, at the age of 17 converted to Pentecost and through the years I have been a Sunday school teacher, a Preacher, a youth Pastor, a Deacon, an Elder of the church, a musician and I even was the unofficial Pastor of a small church who had difficulties with a rogue Pastor. By this, I mean to say that I have seen a lot, done a lot and experienced much and I am not surprised by the lies, deceits, and false teachings many present to the body of Christ. If you are here looking to find a scathing contemptuous “tell-all” book about the church and God’s people – you will not find it here. What I will present to you is a few insightful truths about what many teach from the pulpit compared to what I have found to be in the Bible. I will speak about how ignorance is used to keep God's people in bondage, like slaves, and why knowledge can set you free if you allow it. Again, let me make myself clear – as clear as I can possibly be: I am a Bible thumping, God fearing, Holy Roller – I believe the word of God and I only challenge the teachings of those who would seek to pervert it for their own personal gain or ego. If you are truly interested in what I have to say, in what I want to share – please, read on.Because God has an order to things and many are taking advantage of good honest sincere people who want to, need to and whole heartedly believe in God.

Have you ever wondered what the Bible has to say about homosexuality? A growing number of Christians have come to believe that the Bible does not prohibit or condemn homosexual acts. This book is intended to refute this fundamentally flawed view, and to respond to one of its principal propagators—the Rev. Dr. Mel White. The Rev. Mel White’s What the Bible Says—and Doesn’t Say—About Homosexuality is a treatise that argues that the Bible, when correctly understood, neither condemns nor prohibits homosexual relationships between loving, committed same-sex partners. The apparent prohibitions of sodomy and other homosexual acts in the Old Testament are intended not as injunctions from God, but as reflections of societal tastes and preferences. Even if such prohibitions were based on Old Testament biblical laws—Dr. White argues—such laws have no application or bearing on contemporary Christians, who fall under the law of grace. Dr. White’s treatise employs subtle twists of logic and misunderstandings of fundamental biblical principles in support of its conclusions. His treatise is especially dangerous to readers having shallow biblical knowledge and who may not fully understand the extent and clarity of the Bible’s prohibition on homosexual conduct. At last—there is now an answer to Dr. White’s treatise. In this volume, John Teller sets forth a systematic reply to each of Dr. White’s defenses of homosexuality. John Teller thoroughly replies to, refutes and rebuts each of Dr. White’s arguments on a detailed point-by-point basis. The present volume is indispensable to the Christian studying human sexuality in light of biblical principles.

In this astute mix of cultural critique and biblical studies, John H. Walton presents and defends twenty propositions supporting a literary and theological understanding of Genesis 1 within the context of the ancient Near Eastern world and unpacks its implications for our modern scientific understanding of origins. Ideal for students, professors, pastors and lay readers with an interest in the intelligent design controversy and creation-evolution debates, Walton's thoughtful analysis unpacks seldom appreciated aspects of the biblical text and sets Bible-believing scientists free to investigate the question of origins. The books in the Lost World Series follow the pattern set by Bible scholar John H. Walton, bringing a fresh, close reading of the Hebrew text and knowledge of ancient Near Eastern literature to an accessible discussion of the biblical topic at hand using a series of logic-based propositions.
