Synopsis

Bible Difficulties Explained by John Grigg Hewlett is a nineteenth-century work that investigates apparent contradictions in Scripture and argues that harmony emerges through careful examination. Hewlett describes biblical criticism as a mature science in this country, and his Preface urges readers to test passages rather than accept them on authority alone. The volume is organized into sections such as Apparent Contradictions Reconciled and Isolated Difficulties Explained, applying methodical exegesis and reconciliation to numerous passages from Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Samuel, Kings, and the Gospels, as well as prophetic and wisdom literature. The author defends the divine inspiration and unity of Scripture, discusses miracles, prophecy, and theological topics, and provides practical counsel for students and believers seeking assurance. The book includes a detailed discussion of Gen. 46:26–27 with Acts 7:14 and many similar challenges, presenting a consistent framework for understanding biblical text.
