Description
Was Rahab a liar? What is the unforgivable sin? Who is the wretch? Did Jesus abolish 'eye for eye' justice? Who is my neighbour?
Such issues are often misunderstood. Why?
This book will show you, clearly explaining the truth and exposing errors. The importance of 'big-picture' interpretation is a highlight.
The author is totally committed to the rational integrity of Scripture. As well as honouring all the grammatical and contextual data, each part of the Bible must be interpreted in harmony with the whole.
This book will help and encourage everyone who wants to rightly understand the Bible.
