Synopsis

A thoughtful, scholarly look at how we read the Bible’s difficult passages.

These lectures map out the origins and nature of Scripture difficulties, defend their existence, and offer careful methods for interpreting them. The work also surveys moral and historical questions in Genesis, using concrete biblical examples to illustrate interpretive principles. The result is a disciplined, accessible inquiry into how faith and reason meet in biblical interpretation.

  • Learn practical approaches for reading disputed texts
  • See how Genesis stories are treated in a historical-theological context
  • Understand the balance between critical scrutiny and devotional reading
