Book Reviews of Scripture Twisting: Twenty Ways the Cults Misread the Bible
Book Review: Still Relevant Today
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read this back in the Bible College library. I liked it so much that I bought it for myself. Although dealing primarily with misreadings of scripture it does help to clarify how scripture SHOULD be read. One amusing example occurs on page 65 where a cult discusses the book of Genesis and Adam. Genesis was written in Hebrew and the author acknowledges this explaining that Adam comes from the Hebrew 'adamah' meaning dust or earth. Then they really go off the rails by splitting Adam into two syllables and expounding on the theme that Adam was "a dam" or blockage... It is really funny but it reminds me of the liberties I have heard some ministers take with the text!
We need to be very cautious in how we read scripture and not make it say things it doesn't. This book does a good job of warning against the worst excesses. Broken down into small examples it is not heavy reading, although tackling an important subject. Highly recommended.
