Urban Legends Collection (4 vols.)

It is easy for any of us to pick up certain ideas over time that we do not realize are rooted in falsehood, exaggeration, or even simple misunderstanding. Untangling these notions and discerning the truth can be difficult. The Urban Legends collection makes this job much easier. These books set the record straight on over 100 such misconceptions that many people today unknowingly believe about the Bible and church history. Each chapter lays out the “urban legend” as it is commonly understood, analyzes how it came about, and then presents the truth of the matter as evidenced by sound scholarship and interpretive principles. With examples from throughout the Old and New Testaments and all of church history, you will learn how to apply those same principles of interpretation to any text.
