Do you know what the Bible says about marriage, life after death or the Second Coming of Christ?

Do you understand what the Bible teaches about atonement and forgiveness? What do the gospels tell us about the resurrection of Jesus? Where does the Bible really stand on issues of sexual morality, abortion and same-sex relationships?

Keith Ward, formerly Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Oxford, is uniquely placed to explore what the Bible really says, and he comes to some surprising and challenging conclusions. In many cases he demonstrates that the Bible teaches the exact opposite of what people generally believe.

In this fascinating and engaging book, he shows us how to let the Bible speak and be heard, free from the ’spin’ that is often applied. As Professor Ward underlines the importance of allowing the Bible to be its own interpreter, he encourages us to read its life-changing ancient texts with fresh insight and vision.
