review 1: This is a really good, short book on verses that are often misused. As stated at the end, "There can only be one proper interpretation of a text even though there may be numerous applications." Context matters. This book helps us keep in mind that we should ever practice determining what a passage means rather than making it mean what we feel. Or, technically speaking, we must always practice exegesis and not eisegesis.
review 2: Since the Bible is the Word of God to us, it is of utmost importance for us to take care of how we treat it in daily speech, in reading it and in studying it. The way we treat God's Word reveals our true inner beliefs and feelings concerning God. If we do not treat the Bible and its words (from God) with the proper respect, we will mak... moree many of the mistakes so carefully laid out for us in Eric Bargerhuff's book. Bargerhuff does an excellent job of showing how Christians misuse verses from the Bible on a regular basis. Every Christian should at least read this book if not also own it. It is an eye opener, and I suspect a deliverer of many from misinterpreting the Bible! less
