LogosLight™, an imprint of TellerBooks™, has just published Bible Contradictions and Their Resolutions: Answering Purported Biblical Self-Contradictions.
At last, a reasoned response to the claim that the Bible is riddled with self-contradictions that render it unreliable. This book examines and responds to purported contradictions in the Bible: Did Simon carry Jesus’ cross, as reported in the Gospel of Luke, or did Jesus, as reported in the Gospel of John? Did a centurion plead with Jesus to heal his servant, as Matthew reports, or did he send elders of the Jews to plead with Jesus, as Luke reports? Did 40,000 horsemen die in battle with David, as 2 Samuel reports, or did 40,000 foot soldiers die, as 1 Chronicles reports? Did both thieves mock Jesus on the cross, as narrated by the Gospel of Matthew, or did only one thief mock him, as narrated by the Gospel of Mark?
Many students of the Bible, upon examining these purported self-contradictions, throw their hands up in frustration and conclude that the Bible cannot be divinely inspired. Some Christians, unable to explain these difficulties, walk away from the faith. Others, when pressed, concede that they do not have explanations but believe reasonable explanations exist, though they cannot articulate any.
Now there is a response to these
claims. This book defends the divine inspiration of the Bible and demonstrates
with clarity that the so-called “contradictions” of the Bible are not
contradictions at all. A careful study of the Scriptures in their original
context and in light of the nuances in which they were originally written
vindicates the Bible from claims of errancy.
