What's God Saying Here?: How to Navigate Awkward, Troubling, and Bizarre Passages We Would Rather Skip

Preachers and teachers are expected in Scripture to teach the whole counsel of God. Yet, in the Bible, God says some rather odd things, and strange things seem to happen. The natural tendency for preachers and teachers alike is to skip over such troubling texts. We tend to cherry pick from passages that we like and conveniently stray from texts or verses that are confrontational or bizarre. Many teachers of the Bible will ask, "How do you teach that? Let's just move on to the next passage or the next verse."

In What's God Saying Here? Eric J. Bargerhuff and Matthew D. Kim offer advice on how to handle and communicate 30 of the most confusing verses, passages, sayings, and stories in the Bible. With the authors' advice and encouragement and help from the Holy Spirit, preachers and teachers will be less fearful about teaching such confusing passages. Providing suggestions for exegeting, illustrating, and applying these difficult passages, this book offers guiding principles for teaching peculiar texts with greater precision and confidence.
