THE BOOK: “How the Bible Actually Works”

We invite you to join us in a journey through Peter Enns’ (PhD, Harvard University) book.

Evangelical Bible scholar and host of The Bible for Normal People explains that the Bible is not an instruction manual or rule book but a powerful learning tool that nurtures our spiritual growth by refusing to provide us with easy answers but instead forces us to acquire wisdom. Enns helps us to see the danger in coming to the Bible expecting it to be a textbook intended by God to give us unwavering certainty about our faith, and when we do, we are actually creating problems for ourselves. 

The Bible, in other words, really isn’t the problem; having the wrong expectation is the problem. This book explains why there is no single right way to read the Bible, and it moves us beyond the damaging idea that “being right” is the most important measure of faith.
