Publisher's Synopsis
Bible Translation Magazine has offered insights into Bible difficulties for four years now. Dealing With Bible Difficulties Honestly. Whenever we find a difficulty in the Bible frankly, acknowledge it. Do not try to obscure it. Do not try to dodge it. Look it square in the face. Admit it frankly to whoever mentions it. If we cannot give a good, square, honest explanation, do not attempt any at all. Those, who in their zeal for the infallibility of the Bible have attempted explanations of difficulties that do not commend themselves to the honest, fair-minded person, have done untold harm. People have concluded that if these are the best explanations, then there are no explanations at all, and the Bible instead of being helped has been injured by the unintelligent zeal of foolish friends. If we are not convinced that the Bible is the Word of God, we can far better afford to wait for an honest solution of a difficulty than we can afford to attempt a solution that is evasive and unsatisfactory.
