Better Ways to Read the Bible

Better Ways to Read the Bible invites readers to reconsider how they approach Scripture by moving away from fear driven, literalistic, and harmful readings and toward interpretations grounded in historical context, communal wisdom, humility, and love. Drawing on biblical scholarship and pastoral experience, Zach Lambert explores how the Bible has often been used to exclude, control, or wound others and shows how it can instead become a life giving tool that points people to Jesus. The book equips readers to take the Bible seriously without reading it simplistically, offering practical frameworks for interpreting Scripture in ways that are faithful to its ancient world and meaningful for life today.
