Many find it difficult to take words that were written thousands of
years ago and apply them to twenty-first-century life in the
Western world. How do we read God's unchanging Word in a world that
is increasingly defined by change?
"How to Read the Bible in Changing Times" shows everyday Christians
how to interpret and apply the Scriptures regardless of time and
culture. Rather than seeing the Bible as a magic answer book, a
list of commands to obey, or a series of promises to claim, this
insightful book allows the Bible to retain its identity as a
complex, inspired document while showing that the truth it contains
is relevant and life-changing. It shows the reader how to
determine the meaning of the text in its original context
identify culturally relative features
understand what the text teaches about God, his will, and his
purposes
apply the truths discovered to contemporary life situations
It even shows readers how to discern God's will on the many modern
issues that the Bible does not directly address.
