Scripture, like statistics, can be used in ways that are both misleading and dishonest. Written by a man who believes the bible's truths, this book explores many of the ways in which the Bible is misused and abused. It reveals that many commonly-held beliefs are both false and unscriptural and urges fellow Christians to test the claims of all who say their messages are based on scripture.
The book, which is written in plain English and avoids Christian jargon, uses modern examples to investigate scripture use. The examples investigated include abortion, gay rights, charitable giving, baptismal methods and doctrine, the practice of tithing, repetition of communal prayers, and environmental and economic activism.
