Overview

Seekers and veteran members alike are often discouraged and even derailed by difficulties in the Bible—Old Testament passages that appear to encourage violence, instructions on gender roles that seem antiquated or sexist, complicated end-time prophecies, and other such parts of Scriptures prove an interpretive challenge, even for longtime SDAs. Encountering such passages, they turn to pastors, lay elders, and Sabbath school teachers—who are expected to provide credible answers.

In this resource, top SDA theologians at the Biblical Research Institute confront some of the most perplexing and commonly misunderstood passages in the Bible, offering helpful insights for understanding and teaching these difficult verses. This resource also includes two expositions in both English and Spanish.
