Scripture and the Skeptic

If you are skeptical of the Bible, it’s okay. You’re not alone. Perhaps you believe the Bible is the complete Word of God or maybe you have questions about its true authority. Why does it seem so complex and difficult to interpret? It doesn’t help that we hear others who misunderstand and misquote the Bible. And defending the Word can lead to unwanted, fierce debate.

In Scripture and the Skeptic, Eric Huffman, a former skeptic himself, helps readers understand and cope with confusion about the Bible and provides answers to questions by interpreting the entire book through the lens of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. He illustrates how the Bible, even the parts some consider ungodly or not in line with the culture of the day, presents a perfect and seamless story—the beautiful story God intended to tell.

For those in a small group study, each chapter includes discussion questions that stimulate personal reflection and guides participants to a better understanding of the Scriptures.

This is the book we’ve needed! I can think of at least a dozen people I would have handed this book to over the years - including myself - to help with questions, doubts, and details in the Bible that didn’t quite add up. Eric Huffman manages to tackle the big questions of faith in a way that’s both hilarious and scholarly at the same time. Using his own journey through cynicism and skepticism to full-blown faith, Eric walks us through the Biblical narrative in a way that respects both the skeptic and the Scriptures, and helps us see God’s unique fingerprints in it all.
