Abused, Obscure, or Misused Scripture

As we seek from the Bible answers to life's big questions, we can sometimes find ourselves confronted with questions: Did God really create the entire world in just six days? Would Noah truly have been able to build an entire ark? And how could Jesus actually feed thousands of people with just five loaves of bread and two fish?

Even more, how do these biblical stories and lessons apply to today's society? Can the Bible really teach modern-day individuals about abortion, immorality, sexual indiscretion, and political progress? Can it still guide us to become better people, better parents, and better citizens?

In Abused, Obscure, or Misused Scripture, these questions and more are answered through an engaging and diligent investigation and study into some of the most commonly misunderstood and misinterpreted Bible passages. From its ancient stories to its lessons of morality and character, a detailed and faithful analysis of these scriptures reveals how God's Word-in any time and for any place-maintains a deep and abiding relevance.

By guiding readers through the Word with careful attention to the language and different translations and versions of the Bible, author Steven Paul helps fellow believers both better understand and embrace fully the underlying meanings and applications of the sometimes exciting, sometimes confounding, but always inspiring scriptures.
