In Making Sense of the Bible, Adam Hamilton invites us into an honest conversation about the Bible. The book begins with foundational questions such as: How and when was the Bible written? Who decided which books made it into the scriptures and why? How literally must we read it? And, is the Bible ever wrong?
From there, Hamilton considers the real questions people frequently ask that continue to divide Christians and denominations alike, including:
- Were Adam and Eve real people?
- Why is God so violent in the Old Testament?
- Why would Paul command women to keep silent in the church?
- Is Jesus the only way to salvation?
- How does God view homosexual people?
- Is the Book of Revelation a guide to the End Times
In approachable and inviting language, Hamilton addresses these often misunderstood biblical themes leading listeners 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.
