Publisher's Description

A guide for reading and understanding difficult New Testament verses· Does Matthew 5:34 say that oath-taking is wrong?· What does 1 Corinthians 10:23 mean by "everything is permissible"?· Who were the angels that "abandoned their role" in Jude 6?· What are the thousand years of Revelation 20:4?While the core message of the New Testament is clear, we often encounter puzzling, alarming, or confusing sections when we get into the details. In this second volume of Navigating Tough Texts, Murray J. Harris concisely considers more than eighty tricky passages in the New Testament. He shows how these texts offer insights with implications for theology, apologetics, mission, and the Christian life. Navigating Tough Texts, Volume 2 is a sure guide for pastors, students, and curious Christians who want to be better readers of the tough passages in the Bible.

“Murray Harris was my exegesis teacher, and was the finest teacher I ever had. His gentle voice, his probing questions, his expectation of careful scrutiny of the Greek text, and his leading us to compelling answers set for me a model of education I shall never myself achieve. But I know I’m a better reader of the Greek text because of time spent with him. This book is but a taste of his brilliant classroom teaching. You, the reader, are privileged to listen to one of the great Greek minds of our day.”
