Imagine if the very tools meant to help us understand the Bible had actually hindered our ability to truly engage with it. For centuries, scholars and publishers have added "helps" like chapter divisions, verses, and notes to the text, but in the process, we've lost sight of the Bible's rich literary and historical context. The result? A narrow, individualistic, and escapist view of salvation that reduces the Bible to a quick-fix answer book. But what if we could break free from these limitations and rediscover the transformative power of Scripture? In Saving the Bible from Ourselves, Glenn R. Paauw presents a compelling case for a new way of reading the Bible - one that recovers its original, culture-shaping force. Through seven "new" Bibles, Paauw invites us to rethink our approach to Scripture and experience its life-changing impact in a whole new way. By shedding the chains of our own making, we can unlock the Bible's true potential and discover a deeper, more meaningful faith. Join the journey to reclaim the Bible as a source of wisdom, guidance, and inspiration that can change the world.
