What Is the Bible? by Rob Bell Book Summary

Instant New York Times Bestseller

Rob Bell, the beloved author of Love Wins and What We Talk About When We Talk About God, goes deep into the Bible to show how it is more revelatory, revolutionary, and relevant than we ever imagined—and offers a cogent argument for why we need to look at it in a fresh, new way.

In Love Wins, Rob Bell confronted the troubling questions that many people of faith were afraid to ask about heaven, hell, fate, and faith. Using the same inspired, inquisitive approach, he now turns to our most sacred book, the Bible. What Is the Bible? provides insights and answers that make clear why the Bible is so revered and what makes it truly inspiring and essential to our lives.

Rob takes us deep into actual passages to reveal the humanity behind the Scriptures. You cannot get to the holy without going through the human, Rob tells us. When considering a passage, we shouldn’t ask "Why did God say . . .?" To get to the heart of the Bible’s meaning, we should be asking: "What’s the story that’s unfolding here and why did people find it important to tell it? What was it that moved them to record these words? What was happening in the world at that time? What does this passage/story/poem/verse/book tell us about how people understood who they were and who God was at that time?" In asking these questions, Rob goes beyond the one-dimensional question of "is it true?" to reveal the Bible’s authentic transformative power.

Rob addresses the concerns of all those who see the Bible as God’s Word but are troubled by the ethical dilemmas, errors, and inconsistencies in Scripture. With What Is the Bible?, he recaptures the Good Book’s magic and reaffirms its power and inspiration to shape and inspire our lives today.

“Read with an open mind?”. Any tag line that starts that way usually means something in being introduced that is inconsistent with basic hermeneutics and biblical doctrine . Bell is an innovator in the same way pol pot and mao were innovators. His terrible exegesis leads him and the reader to a gross misunderstanding of Gods word and does more to increase the readers level of doubt, which bell says is a good thing (look at genesis 3 for the same type of thinking). Unfortunately most people will read this book and take it as truth when the fact is, Robb bell has been destroying churches and people’s clear understanding of God for years. This latest attempt is simply to belittle and destroy God at the source of his revelation: the word of God. As scripture clearly points out, he should be silenced. Can i get my 1.99 back?

What is the Bible. Read with an open mind. This book is a wonderful way to see the Bible in context. Read with fresh eyes. You’ll never be the same.

Best book I’ve read on the Bible, Ever!. Rob Bell is a controversial fellow in the evangelical community but he has great knowledge of the biblical world and how to take that message to us now! The Bible is a progressive book on healing the world. It’s inclusive and loving. This book will help bring understanding to the word and give a desire to go deeper. No matter your background, give this book a shot!

Classic Bell. Appreciate the holistic approach to reading the Bible. Easy to read and fast moving book.

Love!. Great book! Gives us more to think about when reading and studying the Bible. One of the first books I have read that actually made it all make sense.

Astonishing. This work causes one to think beyond the existential and draws us into the essence of immaterialism that is found deeply bedded within the warm and gooey slime that covers the membrana skin of our fleeting minds. How did I think before reading this?

Wrong iBooks Section?. Shouldn't this be under "humor"? I read the title, tag, and author on the cover and laughed hysterically!! Best comedy book of 2017!!! 😂😂😂

Magician Preacher. I really enjoyed the Tumblr series this roots from. So many good questions and thoughts that should disturb our typical human experience and wake us from whatever small vision or dreams we have of the gospel. Jesus inspires more from our lives. I think we'd all benefit from reading and engaging with this text and truly seek to live out of the overflow of a new normal. I'm excited to read it and explore new beginnings. Love is strong as death!

Challenge of a New Paradigm?. Once again, Rob Bell has challenged me to rethink the assumptions of the Bible that have been sources or confusion, frustration and anxiety. I highly recommend this book to at least challenge preconceptions one might have about the Bible as well as a new paradigm when interpreting or approaching the Bible. I found it a thought provoking read!
