Fifty Difficult Passages Explained - Adams, Jay E

. .

Résumé :
Some passages in the Bible are hard to understand. Some are commonly misinterpreted because of the failure to translate properly, outmoded language in translations, traditional misunderstandings, or cultural differences. Because many sincere Christians struggle to interpret them, I have decided to offer this book as a help. In this book, Pastor and Counselor Jay Adams considers fifty commonly misunderstood passages that have repeatedly arisen as he taught and counseled. Not all of his explanations are original. Indeed, if they were, you would have reason to suspect them. But in this book, Adams clarifies complex matters so that searching Christians can understand them. The goal of this book is that the Bible will be better understood, so that the great truths about the Lord Jesus Christ may be comprehended more fully and, as a consequence, the blessings of these truths may be extended to many.
