Publisher's Description

Informed Answers to Your Most Troublesome Questions about the Bible.

What do you make of the difficult areas in the Bible—those puzzling passages that make you stop and scratch your head? The seeming inconsistencies or moments that make you uncomfortable?

  • Did God approve of Rahab's lie?
  • Why are many of the Old Testament quotes in the New Testament not word-for-word?
  • Does the Bible class abortion with murder?
  • Where did Adam and Eve's sons get their wives?
  • Does 1 Corinthians authorize divorce for desertion? 

The seeming incongruities of Scripture actually have sound explanations. But unless you're a Bible scholar, you probably don't know about them. The New International Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties gives you informed answers to your most troublesome questions. Many explanations include an eye-opening look at linguistic, cultural, numerical, relational, and other considerations of which most Bible readers are unaware.

Referencing both the New International Version (NIV) and the New American Standard Bible (NASB), this handbook makes scholarly insights accessible to everyone. Whether you're a student, pastor, everyday Bible-lover, or even a skeptic, the New International Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties will show you why the Bible is believable and dependable, with a message you can live by.
