Denominations from evangelical to mainline continue to experience deep divisions over universal social issues. The underlying debate isn’t about a particular social issue, but instead it is about how we understand the nature of scripture and how we should interpret it. The world’s bestselling, most-read, and most-loved book is also one of the most confusing. In Making Sense of the Bible, Adam Hamilton, one of the country’s leading pastors and Christian authors, addresses the hot-button issues that plague the church and cultural debate, and answers many of the questions frequently asked by Christians and non-Christians alike.
Did God really command Moses to put gay people to death? Did Jesus really teach that everyone who is not a Christian will be assigned to hell? Why would Paul command women to “keep silent in the church?” Were Adam and Eve real people? Is the book of Revelation really about the end times? Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? Is the Bible ever wrong? In approachable and inviting language, Hamilton addresses these often misunderstood biblical themes leading readers to a deeper appreciation of the Bible so that we might hear God speak through it and find its words to be life-changing and life-giving.

This is a very important book and the author deserves a great deal of credit for his courage and extensive research in writing it. While many modern people claim to possess a full understanding of the story concerning the actual creation of both the New & Old Testaments, the historically accurate formation of these two important contributions to mankind remain a mystery shrouded in the archaeological veil and dust of time scattered over three millennia. It is estimated that Exodus took place in approximately 1350 BC. What language was the original Old Testament first written in? Hieroglyphs? (Moses was raised and educated as an Egyptian prince) Cuneiform? It could not have been Hebrew! The oldest artifact ever discovered written in Hebrew only dates back to approximately 750 BC, six hundred years after Moses. How was the Old Testament written? When, where and by whom? There are similar questions and gaps in knowledge surrounding the formation of the New Testament as well. There is no blasphemy here. The author's gentle scholarship and presentation bridges these legitimate historical mysteries in a manner that is non-offensive to any individual or religious branch of faith and will help the reader to a greater appreciation for the importance of these questions and knowledge of scripture. This is an important subject for those of all Western faiths to consider.
