Book club? Book club!!

@kyruep Год назад

Yes! I definitely love hearing about book recommendations! Books can be expensive so it’s nice to hear a personal review and/or detailed description of the book before deciding to purchase. Thank you!

@BiblicallyNoted Год назад

Bart Erhman is a famous atheist. Anytime I find his books in thrift stores (which is where I book shop) I buy and trash them...

@HowtoFaithALife Год назад

Haha! I kinda like that….

@BiblicallyNoted Год назад

@@HowtoFaithALife LOL It's my own little way that hopefully helps someone - even if they don't know it. I figure if I can keep it out of someone's hands, I should. Like you said... if you didn't go to Bible school, if you didn't already know better, you would have walked away very disillusioned about the Word of God. I don't want that to happen to anyone else. I know they can buy it new if they really want it.. but this will maybe stop someone from picking it up by chance and walking away thinking the Bible isn't true.

@lesliewells1062 Год назад

That's a good idea!!

@FaithandFarm Год назад

No hate at all, but wouldn't that make them print more copies? Just a thought, but other than that I like the idea

@MsBea100 Год назад

I am currently reading The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible by Michael S. Heiser. My book club read this a couple months ago and I’m just getting around to it. It is very thought provoking. It answers questions about why wasn’t Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her? His research started when he was questioned about Psalm 82 - who was this divine assembly that God was standing in? He says you will never read your Bible the same way again. Highly recommend

@naynay9652 11 месяцев назад

I'm so sorry about your sister passing away. I know you've mentioned it in other videos and it sounds so traumatic for your whole family and anniversaries are always hard. I love your book videos!! I would vote for more of them. I watch them on my computer and have Amazon open too and I keep pausing your video and going back and forth, adding books to my list. Thanks for introducing me to Jen Wilkens. I never heard of her before today and a lot of her books are now on my list. I'm so impressed by all you do. Do you mind if I ask what you do for relaxation? I know in your last video you said you are not into novels. What do you do when you just want some mindless chilling out? Maybe you never do that, I don't know, but I need that as part of my life, as well as studying God's Word and Christian books. I know about Bart Erhman. He was one of my favorite writers in the time between I left a so-called Christian cult (as if there could really be such a thing) and tried to leave God and the time I came back to God--He pulled me back to Him with His love and mercy. Ehrman does say he is not a believer anymore in at least one book I read by him. I agree, I think it is wise to avoid him unless a person is really grounded and rooted in their faith.

@saskiae200 Год назад

Bart Ehrman is one the most famous atheists if you ask me. So no, I wouldn't read anything on understanding anything about the Bible of him. Could be helpful though if you want to debate an atheist, to understand where that person has his information from, Bart Ehrman will most likely be on the top of the list. Did you read 'Jesus through the eyes of women' by Rebecca McLaughlin? I am loving that one!!! Thank you for your channel ❤

I feel like if you really want to find truth you need to read things written by believers as well as non believers.

Dear Faith, The best book, hands down, that explains textual criticism of the N.T. that I read while learning Biblical Greek is titled: The Text of the New Testament, by Bruce M. Metzger. Several months ago you recommended a book on hermeneutics titled: The Hermeneutical Spiral, by Grant R. Osborne. I read the first edition of this book in 1993 and it's one of the best there is on the subject. The only draw-back is that it might be too "technical" for a beginner/ lay person. A great book for anyone just starting to study hermeneutics would be: Basic Bible Interpretation, by Roy B. Zuck. Love your channel ! Your friend in Christ,. Dave

I'm still scared to write into my Bible was it is the dr. David Jeremiah Bible however I use a spiral notebook. one of the things that I wanted to tell you about is that doing a journal has enhance my life but I have one problem I have a big problem I'm a vary bad speller and so it. Kind of bogs me down and just want to know if you have any suggestions because it's very annoying to me and I forget what I want to say.😢

It seems really important to know something about the authors we read before reading them to, at the very least, have an idea where they're coming from so as not to be unnecessarily confused. Bart Ehrman is an atheist known for debating Christians. Extremely smart but wrong. I've seen several books "debunking" this book. Maybe a good read for anyone who has read this one.

@saraloggins8365 Год назад

Bart Ehrman has turned so many away from Christianity in his Textual Criticism classes now that he is a non-believer. I believe he even has said that Jesus was only a man and teacher. His goal is to break down the faith of others.

@DonnaWrightRN Год назад

Faith, have you ever read Michael Heiser? I’m reading him with a critical eye because I am really concerned about a book of his being used at my church. Actually a better word is ‘alarmed.’ He’s straying into the territory of “I have a new revelation” from Psalm 82. The book is Unseen Realms and I’m actually finding myself pausing my reading to ask Jesus to protect me as I read, because I’m that concerned about the bad theology. And once I have finished it, I’m going to have to prayerfully go to our church leadership about it.

@Jazzatic2011 Год назад

I’m always trying to make sense or see a real life example of when a “pearl is cast to swine.” I think this misquoting Jesus book is maybe it. Jesus’ words are very precious and impactful, and their application sometimes are more relevant than we realize. Either for the situation at that time or for our every day lives. Yet I think for someone to take the scripture and say, here’s Jesus here and there doing this and to discredit, not misquote but discredit... My thinking is if we look at pearls trampled under swine, those pearls initially weren’t without value even if they were treated or regarded that way. That’s what you review of that book brings to mind.

@awholelottawords1536 Год назад

Not going to lie my jaw hit the floor when you said you read Bart Ehrman. He’s painful to listen to in interviews let alone read. You can always hear the pain and sadness in every argument he attempts to make. He’s big in the apologetics circles so I was just shocked to hear you speaking about his book. The fact you finished that book is astounding cause I cannot sit through 10 min of Bart’s debates because it physically hurts.

It was hard to finish it at points but I was determined! Lol. I don’t know much about him, but I’m not big about apologetics… I hate listening to people reason out their disbelief it nauseates me!

@@HowtoFaithALife that’s why I was so shocked 😆 I strengthened my faith through apologetics but it eventually became a headache with the debates. I don’t like when people reason out their disbelief either. It was only necessary for me to combat my own disbelief. Once I finally realized they don’t actually attempt to defend their own disbelief they just attack Christianity and the followers with scoffing, mocking, and excuses not to believe. I moved toward Christian life and how to properly study channels like yours 🤗

F.F. Bruce has a really good book on the New Testament Documents. I think it's called The New Testament Documents, are they Reliable? It's scholarly but really good.

I believe Christians should read secular or maybe even anti-Christian literature(provided they are prepared) in order to boost their critical thinking and stop being in an echo chamber, because I think sometimes the message of staying away from these kinds of books might lead people to face real life problems of which no literature could have prepared them for and could lead to very serious problems. So bottom line, read things from the other side, don’t get stuck with an echo chamber re-affirming your ideas.

Yes ~ Very good point, I totally agree with you. You can learn much about knowing why you don’t believe something by checking it out.

How do you read so much? Or does it just seem like a lot? I mean when it’s a necessity (like studying for class) I somehow magically find time but when it’s leisure it’s kind of here nor there 😂 Also, I feel like I may be the only one who wants to read misquoting Jesus after hearing your review. It would definitely be on the bottom of my list but I am curious to read something from that perspective. If only to maybe understand people in that boat better.

I love Lucy Peppiatt. I read Rediscovering Scripture’s Vision for Women and it really helped me to see there are solid, biblically based alternate interpretations of some confusing passages about women in the NT. She also has some YT videos, if you’d rather watch than read :)

@jocelyn4981 Год назад

Wow! Bart Erman (sp?) is new to you? I feel like I hear him mentioned ALL the time -- Mike Winger's podcast primarily? He points out the bad/unbiblical logic in a bunch of sources. So I definitely concur with your final recommendation on the book -- do NOT use Bart Erman to learn anything but WrongThink (or how a WrongThinker actually does their wrong think).

@jordandthornburg Год назад

Its good to know his arguments though, we want to know the best from those who challenge our faith or specific beliefs

@cindiloowhoo1166 Год назад

Mike Winger… Oh My… He has one opinion, it’s right, any he has no compunctions about being quite snarky as he informs whomever of that fact. He does have knowledge to share, tho I frequently disagree, but sometimes I just have to do the PAUSE and go somewhere else for awhile…. And, I have to adjust the playback speed to 0.75. He talks faster than I can hear.

@nothanks4469 Год назад

Ehrman is extremely negative and now calls himself an atheist, I believe. I can't recommend him or Peter Enns at all. They have open disdain for the Bible. It's insidious and undermining considering the marketing of their books.

@HowtoFaithALife Год назад

Yes, I was shocked by how negative he was! Def NOT someone I’ll read again

@nothanks4469 Год назад

@@HowtoFaithALife Yes, and there are so many engaging and edifying books out there that go deep into Scripture without distorting it or challenging it in an ugly, ungenerous way. I love your reviews and your open and honest practice of discernment. So glad I found your channel!

Seems like Faith doesn’t know who Bart Ehrman is. A super smart professor and scholar who’s main goal in life is ‘proving’ Christianity and the Bible wrong. Debates on RU-vid with him taking the atheist position. I pray he will someday comes to know the Lord. He knows the Bible very well and doesn’t believe in it very very much.
