The Bible Doesn't Say That
Author: Joel M. Hoffman
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1466864567
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
A “witty and accessible look at Scripture” that explores what the Bible meant before two millennia of mistranslations and misinterpretations (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In this fascinating book, acclaimed translator and biblical scholar Dr. Joel M. Hoffman walks the reader through dozens of mistranslations, misconceptions, and other misunderstandings about the Bible. In forty short, straightforward chapters, he covers morality, lifestyle, theology, and biblical imagery, including: The Bible doesn’t call homosexuality a sin, and doesn’t advocate for the one-man-one-woman model of the family that has been dubbed “biblical.” The Bible’s famous “beat their swords into plowshares” is matched by the militaristic “beat your plowshares into swords.” The often-cited New Testament quotation “God so loved the world” is a mistranslation, as are the titles “Son of Man” and “Son of God.” The Ten Commandments don’t prohibit killing or coveting. What does the Bible say about violence? About the Rapture? About keeping kosher? About marriage and divorce? Hoffman provides answers to all of these and more, succinctly explaining how so many pivotal biblical answers came to be misunderstood.

Leisure Myths and Mythmaking
Author: Brett Lashua
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000785505
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
This book centralizes powerful leisure stories that may otherwise be understood as myths—sometimes recognized, often less so—that circulate in the field of leisure studies and beyond. In everyday use, a myth perpetuates a popularly held belief that is false or untrue. However, in social and cultural theories, myths are more complex as partial truths that privilege particular versions of a shared social reality. We see myth as having an “absent presence” in leisure studies, and want to know what myths are, what they do, and how they circulate and shape people’s leisure lives. Myths can do more than obfuscate; they often animate people’s lives, motivate collective action, and inspire change. As the chapters in this edited volume explore in further detail, leisure myths and mythmaking involve complex relations in the gaps between reality and imagination—from the shared myths of musical legends to myths of placemaking and communities, as well as from origin myths of sport practices to fantasy and festivals, to the importance of storytelling as mythmaking in tourism. In different ways, each of these chapters alerts the readers to the “absent presence” of myths and mythmaking in leisure research. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Leisure Sciences.

Myths of the Bible
Author: William J Morford
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781948794855
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Myths of the Bible explores 189 myths; beliefs, assumptions, and mistranslations in most modern English language Bibles. From William J. Morford, editor and translator of the One New Man Bible. Have you ever wondered if the Bible translation you read today carries the same words and meaning of books of the Bible that were written down for the first time, in their original language? Is the translation you're reading accurate and faithful to the Bible's original words and intent? Have passages been added to the Bible you're reading today? Have certain words or meanings been mistranslated or even changed to suit someone else's purpose? Just how much does early Church tradition play into the Bible we read today? As you will discover in Myths of the Bible, modern Christians believe many, many biblical "truths" that were either never in the Bible's original language or mistranslated from Latin and English manuscripts. Myths of the Bible explores 189 myths; beliefs, assumptions, and mistranslations in most modern English language Bibles. Several passages in the Bible we read today were added centuries after the original scriptures were first written. How many scribes and translators over the centuries have chosen words unfaithful to the original meaning and context of the Bible's original language, either out of ignorance of the Hebraic language, meanings, and idioms, or because suitable Latin, English or other words simply didn't exist to accurately match the Hebrew or Greek original. Church tradition plays a big part in many of the myths we carry with us today as Bible "truth." The purpose of this book is not to diminish your faith in God's Word, but to challenge, bless and encourage you in the truth of God's Word in spite of man's and religion's flawed tradition! In this book, you will see many quotes from the KJV, NIV, and Amplified because they are typical of English translations that contain quite a few passages from tradition. These three are used because they are representative of nearly all English Christian translations.

The Holy Bible of Inclusion [Second Edition]
Author: D.E. Paulk
Publisher: Spirit and Truth Sanctuary
ISBN: 1737045125
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
If you are like me you have struggled to accept the modern Christian church’s portrayal (or betrayal) of God, depiction of the devil and description of hell. Many god-fearing people and good-hearted preachers alike have long harbored unspoken thoughts of a more loving, merciful and masterful Creator. However, just about as many who subscribe to this grander vision and version of God also admittedly and even ashamedly lack the ability to reference the Bible and specific passages of scripture in order to publicly validate these privately held higher concepts of God... THE HOLY BIBLE OF INCLUSION will scripturally, extensively and even exhaustively confront theological myths, misrepresentations and mistranslations of the Bible and its Origins – Universal Salvation – the devil – the Purpose of hell and the Fire of God – Sexual Orientation and many others. Join me on this worthwhile and rewarding spiritual journey as we research, rethink, recover and then re-present the awesome and awe-inspiring God of the universe.
