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":41228307202097,"sku":"9780802885333","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9780802885333.jpg?v=1789627573","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9780802885333_thats-not-what-the-bible-says","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
