Misusing Scripture offers a thorough and critical evaluation of
American evangelical scholarship on the Bible. This strand of
scholarship exerts enormous influence on the religious beliefs and
practices, and even cultural and political perspectives, of
millions of evangelical Christians in the United States and
worldwide. The book brings together a diverse array of authors with
expertise on the Bible, religion, history, and archaeology to
critique the nature and growth of "faith-based" biblical
scholarship. The chapters focus on inerrancy and textual criticism,
archaeology and history, and the Bible in its ancient and
contemporary contexts. They explore how evangelicals approach the
Bible in their biblical interpretation, how "biblical" archaeology
is misused to bolster distinctive views about the Bible, and how
disputed interpretations of the Bible impact issues in the public
square. This unique and timely volume contributes to a greater
understanding and appreciation of how contemporary American
evangelicals understand and use the Bible in their private and
public lives. It will be of particular interest to scholars of
biblical studies, evangelical Christianity, and religion in the
United States.
