Description:Zach Lambert has seen the Bible used countless times as something far from the "Good Book"--both in his own life and in the experiences of others. He has seen the Bible weaponized to subjugate women, justify racism, bash LGBTQ+ people, cover up abuse, and exclude people who speak out against these injustices.In this book, Lambert calls readers to a more Christlike interpretation of Scripture. Lambert has created this accessible guide to help readers dismantle four common lenses for reading Scripture that lead to harm--Literalism, Apocalypse, Moralism, and Hierarchy. Instead, he offers four new lenses--Jesus, Context, Flourishing, and Fruitfulness--that promote healing and wholeness for all people. This book helps transform the Bible from a weapon that condemns, oppresses, and excludes into a tool that liberates.Better Ways to Read the Bible welcomes all Christians to reengage Scripture in life-giving ways.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
