Is It Really the Good Book?
Book •
John Marriott and Shawn Wicks present an introductory apologetic and hermeneutics guide aimed at readers wrestling with hard biblical texts and doubts about Scripture.
The book explains common modern assumptions that lead to misunderstanding the Bible, teaches genre and contextual reading skills, and addresses moral and historical objections to Scripture.
It draws on the authors' pastoral, scholarly, and research experience with deconversion narratives to show how many objections dissolve with better interpretive frameworks.
The book offers practical questions and steps for interpreting difficult Old and New Testament passages and encourages churches to engage these topics rather than avoid them.
Overall, it argues that when read in its original context and intention, the Bible remains a trustworthy and life-changing text.
