How the Bible actually works*

*in which I explain how an ancient ambiguous and diverse book leads us to wisdom rather than answers--and why that's great news
Peter Enns
Book - 2019

For many Christians, the Bible is a how-to manual filled with literal truths about belief that must be strictly followed. But the Bible is not static, Peter Enns argues. It does not hold easy answers to the perplexing questions and issues that confront us in our daily lives. Rather, the Bible is a dynamic instrument for study that not only offers an abundance of insights but provokes us to find our own answers to spiritual questions, cultivating God<U+2019>s wisdom within us.
