How can an evangelical view of Scripture be reconciled with modern biblical scholarship? In this book Peter Enns, an expert in biblical interpretation, addresses Old Testament phenomena that challenge traditional evangelical perspectives on Scripture. He then suggests a way forward, proposing an incarnational model of biblical inspiration that takes seriously both the divine and the human aspects of Scripture. This tenth anniversary edition has an updated bibliography and includes a substantive postscript that reflects on the reception of the first edition.

Elijah was born with only half of a heart. According to the doctors, his chances of survival were very slim. Just ten days old, he had his first open heart surgery and he survived. His parents, Henry and Sarah Friesen knew it was not his last. Elijah was never able to run and play like other small boys. What little he had of a heart, was able to supply only enough oxygen to keep him alive. Any other exertion of energy could well be life threatening to him. In the fall of 2010, at the age of five, Elijah was on a heart transplant list. Doctors said without a new heart, his life expectancy was less than six more months. There was another little boy; his name was Matthew. Ten years old, he was energetic, loved cheeseburgers and baseball. On October 1, 2010 Matthew came into the house complaining about a headache. The next morning his mother, Mary Jane found him laying on the floor. He was unresponsive so she rushed him to the hospital ER. The diagnosis; Matthew had suffered a rare brain aneurysm. He was not going to survive. In spite of her grief, his mother, Mary Jane, decided to donate Matthew s organs for transplant. Matthew s body and his vital organs were now placed on life support. Soon jet airplanes were taking off with the life saving cargo of donated organs, for waiting transplant recipients. Matthew s heart was going to save the life of six year old Elijah. Your heart will beat with emotion, as you re-live the story of two loving mothers; Sarah and Mary Jane, and their two little boys who never met, but shared one heart. As you read it - you will agree Love is in the Heart

Controversial evangelical Bible scholar, popular blogger&nbsp;and podcast host of The Bible for Normal People, and author of The Bible Tells Me So and The Sin of Certainty 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. For many Christians, the Bible is a how-to manual filled with literal truths about belief that must be strictly followed. But the Bible is not static, Peter Enns argues. It does not hold easy answers to the perplexing questions and issues that confront us in our daily lives. Rather, the Bible is a dynamic instrument for study that not only offers an abundance of insights but provokes us to find our own answers to spiritual questions, cultivating God's wisdom within us. "The Bible becomes a confusing mess when we expect it to function as a rulebook for faith. But when we allow the Bible to determine our expectations, we see that Wisdom, not answers, is the Bible's true subject matter," writes Enns. This distinction, he points out, is important because when we come to the Bible expecting it to be a textbook intended by God to give us unwavering certainty about our faith, we are actually creating problems for ourselves. The Bible, in other words, really isn't the problem; having the wrong expectation is what interferes with our reading. Rather than considering the Bible as an ancient book weighed down with problems, flaws, and contradictions that must be defended by modern readers, Enns offers a vision of the holy scriptures as an inspired and empowering resource to help us better understand how to live as a person of faith today. How the Bible Actually Works makes clear that there is no one right way to read the Bible. Moving us beyond the damaging idea that "being right" is the most important measure of faith, Enns's freeing approach to Bible study helps us to instead focus on pursuing enlightenment and building our relationship with God--which is exactly what the Bible was designed to do.
