Synopsis: Right Texts, Wrong Meanings takes some popular New
Testament texts and meanings to illustrate how many Christians have
misunderstood the Bible. Along the explorative journey, readers
will learn that meanings are not as obvious as they seem. At the
same time, they will also learn that with the right method, the
possible meanings are within their grasp. Endorsements: "Tsang
invites every reader of the Bible to engage the task of
interpreting the Bible more critically and thoughtfully. Through
example after example, he models the importance of and how to apply
the most basic interpretative skills, letting the larger literary
and historical contexts guide our interpretation. This book will
certainly help any Christian test interpretations and hold onto
those that are good." --David A. deSilva, Professor of New
Testament and Greek, Ashland Theological Seminary "I wish this was
required of all those entering pulpit ministry . . . Without the
protection of footnotes and ecclesiastically correct idioms, Tsang
addresses the hearts and minds of those who claim to be teachers of
the Word. Pick this up and read it carefully if you also claim to
be a student of the Word." --David W. Pao, Professor of New
Testament and Chair of the New Testament Department, Trinity
Evangelical Divinity School "In this helpful book, Sam Tsang covers
many pet passages and shows how they mean much more than the lame
and lackadaisical interpretations normally given to them. Tsang is
to be credited for tackling these key texts and showing how we move
beyond superficiality to maturity in biblical interpretation."
--Michael Bird, Lecturer in Theology, Ridley Melbourne College of
Ministry and Mission "Many popular Scripture passages have been
misunderstood. Most misunderstandings are harmless. However, in
some cases incorrect interpretations may result in failing to hear
God through his Word. Tsang has provided the church with a
challenging and thought-provoking trip through the minefield of New
Testament interpretation. He reveals errors and provides reasonable
solutions. Some readers will be excited. Some may be angered. All
will be challenged." --Joseph D. Fantin, Associate Professor of New
Testament, Dallas Theological Seminary "In this eye-opening book,
the gifted biblical interpreter and theologian Sam Tsang takes a
fresh look at some familiar biblical passages. Time and again he
shows how the obvious and popular interpretations have simply
missed the breathtaking meaning that can be found in these texts.
Not only does he restore more faithful readings of these passages,
he also recovers the excitement vibrating at the core of these
texts." --Thomas G. Long, Professor of Preaching, Candler School of
Theology, Emory University Author Biography: Sam Tsang (PhD,
University of Sheffield) is associate professor of Hong Kong
Baptist Theological Seminary. He researches, writes, and speaks
full-time on his three beloved issues: interpretation, preaching,
and biblical literacy.
