Bible-based discussions proliferate across video channels, podcasts, and social media. But quantity isn’t quality, and immediacy isn’t a guarantee of genuine insight. The sound bites that circulate online tend to skip over one of the most important questions of all: How does anyone actually know what the Bible says?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this lively book, New Testament scholar and teacher Laura Robinson identifies prevalent misconceptions about the Bible—especially ideas that are popular online—that deserve closer examination. Her aim isn’t to give readers the “right” answer but to show them how good answers are arrived at—in other words, to reveal the processes that thoughtful readers of Scripture use to draw conclusions about what they’re reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter by chapter, Robinson teaches readers to think like a historian and a theologian: to weigh evidence, evaluate sources, and see why the most appropriate response to a major question is usually more complicated—and far more fascinating—than a viral hot take. The Bible, after all, is a collection of texts written across centuries and genres, and to read it well we need time-tested interpretive tools. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders of \u003ci\u003eThat’s Not What the Bible Says \u003c\/i\u003eare likely to come away with new questions. That’s the point; this isn’t a book about \u003ci\u003ewhat\u003c\/i\u003e to think, but \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e. Both helpful and hopeful, this book is a valuable resource for people who engage regularly with online content about the Bible, people who are curious about Scripture, and lifelong learners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laura Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54181105467503,"sku":"9780802885333","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/4799\/8831\/files\/9780802885333.jpg?v=1788161946","url":"https:\/\/cart.presswarehouse.com\/products\/thats-not-what-the-bible-says","provider":"Books International","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
