About this title

Synopsis

In Making Sense of Scripture, David Lose invites the reader to engage in a conversation, one that he imagines discussing around his kitchen table, about seven major questions of the Bible. More than a standard biblical reference book, Making Sense of Scripture is a dialogue that encourages readers to bring their questions or doubts to the table when reading Scripture. During this conversation, there are different opportunities for the reader to interact with the Bible, ultimately leaving room for personal transformation of the heart and mind. Introduction Chapter 1: What Is the Bible? Chapter 2: Is the Bible True? Chapter 3: How Is the Bible the Word of God? Chapter 4: Where Did the Bible Come From? Chapter 5: How Can I Read the Bible with Greater Understanding? Chapter 6: Is There a "Center" to Scripture? Chapter 7: What Kind of Authority Does the Bible Hold?
