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.

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 book was recommended by a cousin who understood where I am in the pantheon of religion and faith. What a great recommendation!
Just to clarify: several years ago, I realized that as an educated person the one very important book I had never read was the Bible, regarded as the greatest book ever written. So, I began one chapter at a time. The language can be obscure primarily because of the time when the Bible was written and the language which was ancient. After completing one reading, I went back and started all over again. The meanings became clearer. I wanted to know more. When was the Bible written? Who were the writers?
Adam Hamilton writes to communicate so that the reader will understand what he is saying. He knows his Bible. He is a pragmatist - his viewpoints and references make sense. His writing style is clear, to the point and leaves no doubt about what he wants us to understand. He presents other viewpoints where necessary and provides footnotes. For those who wish to go further, there are other books to read.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is beginning a search.
