This is a gem of a book! Brogdon wears his scholarship lightly, using a conversational tone to speak clearly and directly about how to interpret Scripture. He addresses common questions about how to understand the Bible and answers them with intellectual honesty and deep faith. This book deserves a place in every Bible study, confirmation class, and pastor's library. --Shannon Craigo-Snell, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary The Bible in the Ashes of Social Chaos is an invaluable gift to both the Christian church and the everyday, armchair reader of the word. As a New Testament scholar and experienced minister, Brogdon asks tough questions about the biblical text and its interpretation, provides constructive answers, dispels traditional and destructive myths about the Bible, and exposes the oppressive nature of the church's interpretation of certain texts in the Bible. I highly recommend it. --Darvin A. Adams I, itinerant pastor in the Christian Methodist Episcopal (CME) Church
