When the Bible is Complicated: Answers to Perplexing Questions

The Bible’s message is very clear: God sent his Son Jesus to sacrifice his life so that we might be saved from sin through a relationship with him. The unfolding of that story gets complicated, and the more we read, the more we have questions: Why does our Bible have the books it has? How do its lessons apply to my life? What’s the best way to study the Bible? Originally published in Bible Study Magazine between 2008 and 2014, this collection of articles explores such questions and reveals that we can glean answers and insights when we read with culture and context in mind. We hope the understanding you gain will empower you to live a deeper, more enriching life of faith than ever before.
