Navigating Tough Texts: A Guide to Problem Passages in the New Testament

While the core message of the New Testament is clear, there are often puzzling, alarming, or confusing things we encounter when we get into the details of the text. Murray J. Harris, veteran scholar and translator, is an ideal guide through these complicated passages. In Navigating Tough Texts, he clearly and concisely provides exegetical insights to over one hundred tricky New Testament verses that have implications for theology, apologetics, mission, and the Christian life. Navigating Tough Texts is an indispensable resource for pastors, students, and curious Christians who want to be better readers of the many important—and often confusing—New Testament passages.

‘What a marvelous collection from a distinguished scholar and master teacher that is chock full of nuggets of perceptive interpretation. Murray Harris has a knack for making crystal clear the meaning of notoriously difficult and misunderstood texts, and for shedding new light on both familiar and overlooked texts that leads to deeper insights. The engaging style makes this book accessible for everyone, but it definitely should be in every minister’s and Bible teacher’s toolbox to consult when confronted by the questions concerning the meaning of New Testament Scripture.’ David E. Garland, professor of Christian Scriptures, George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University, Waco, Texas
