What Horse?
Common Misconceptions About What the Bible Actually Says
Three wise men at the manger. An apple in Eden. “God helps those who help themselves.” Much of what Christians are sure the Bible says, it does not say — and some of what it does say has been buried under generations of paraphrase, folklore, and well-meaning Sunday school shorthand.
What Horse? takes the most common misconceptions one at a time and holds each against the text. Not to score points, but because the real text is always better: stranger, sharper, and more full of Christ than the versions we half-remember.
Read it straight through, or keep it on the shelf for the next time someone says “the Bible says…” and you wonder whether it does.
Who it's for
Christians who keep hearing 'the Bible says…' and aren't sure it does — and anyone who wants the real text instead of the half-remembered version.
