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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBetter Ways to Read the Bible\u003c\/i\u003e,\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eLambert 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 wholeness, inclusion, and flourishing for all people. This book transforms the Bible from a weapon that condemns, oppresses, and excludes into a tool that helps and heals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBetter Ways to Read the Bible\u003c\/i\u003e, which includes a foreword by Beth Allison Barr, welcomes all Christians to reengage Scripture in life-giving ways.","brand":"BAK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40662912467073,"sku":"377616","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0561\/8070\/3361\/files\/1039235_1.jpg?v=1783166546","url":"https:\/\/www.soacb.com\/products\/better-ways-to-read-the-bible","provider":"Seed of Abraham Christian Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
