The Bible is the best-selling, most widely read, and most quoted book in history. It is also misunderstood, misquoted, and fiercely debated. If, as Christians believe, the Bible is the Word of God, why is it so complex and difficult to interpret in parts, yet simple enough for even children to understand in others?

In Scripture and the Skeptic Eric Huffman, author of 40 Days of Doubt, helps readers understand and cope with confusion about the Bible and provides answers to questions by reframing it as a perfect and seamless story. Huffman illustrates how the Bible, even the parts some consider ungodly, presents the beautiful story that God intended to tell.

Through storytelling from his own experiences and his take on Bible stories, Huffman helps readers understand the Bible by interpreting the entire book through the lens of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection. He shows how every part of the Bible is either crying out for Jesus, witnessing his incarnation, or responding in the aftermath of his resurrection.

Readers discover how to trust the Bible as God’s beautiful and perfect salvation story.
Includes questions with each chapter for personal reflection or group study.

Have you ever really studied the Bible?
5 Stars
Have you ever really studied the Bible?
If you (are like I was a few years ago and) think the Bible is a big, heavy set of rules outlining why discrimination should continue into the 21st century, I would suggest you consider this book. It is a quick read (~200 pages; at 10 pages/ day, this can be knocked out in less than 3 weeks!).If you are a Christian, and you have a couple friends that have questions about your faith, but are not quite far enough to buy a Bible b/c of some preconceived notions, then this would be a good book to host a weekly/ bi-weekly chapter/ discipleship group. There are study questions for each chapter.If you are a newer Christian and wanting to be able to articulate the beauty within the Bible (unified story that leads to Jesus), this is a great tool. I really like the Bible Study Tips in the back of the book. Practical.if you do decide to buy this book and you like it, i would check out "40 Days of Doubt"; same author.

The author’s witty and clever writing kept me interested. I’m not a big reader of the written word, but I was eager to read and finish this book. It gave me new and interesting ways to think about the Bible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Witty And Wise
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2021

Eric Huffman's "Scripture And The Skeptic" accomplishes something both rare and astonishing in the field of biblical theology: he combines "Laugh Out Loud" wit with "Oh My God" wisdom. Part memoir, part exegesis, but all helpful. Huffman teaches -- repeatedly -- that Scripture is actually MORE BELIEVABLE when you allow it to be the raw, unfiltered, and raucous collection of ancient literature it actually is. The only UNBELIEVABLE bible is the sanitized one. Huffman also shows the aspiring preacher how to mine homiletical gold out of passages such as Genesis 38 -- just who is Tamar's baby-daddy? -- that most pastors avoid. Think Thomas Oden's "A Change Of Heart" with more than a splash of Seinfeld-ish humor thrown in. But just because he can converse with culture doesn't mean he falls victim to its fads. In fact, as he nears the conclusion -- and as he addresses a central dilemma in 21s Century church life, Huffman makes this trenchant observation: "At this rate, it's only a matter of time before the traditional, biblical view of sex and marriage will be deemed illegal hate speech and Christians who are seeking to honor Scripture will be forced to make a choice between legal consequences and eternal ones." I know the choice Huffman will make, and the church is much the better for it.

Jesus was born on earth, died here and was resurrected into heaven from here. If you belief something else it would be wise to read this well documented investigative work. If you are a believer it is a great read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Written for the devout
Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2022
Verified Purchase
I sincerely wish this was written in a way that would encourage or be used to engage in dialog with skeptics. Unfortunately, that's just not the case. It's written to those who are already believers, maybe to reinforce their beliefs? I don't know.

I do think some of the ideas and descriptions in here are good and thought provoking. Others, not so much. Some of the arguments even harm his case when you sit and think about it, such as when he compares challenging the authorship of the books of the bible to Plato and the like. That one sore of backfired.

Was it worth reading? Sure. Would I recommend it? Only to certain people with a very specific belief pattern.
