The Bible That We Invented: How Modern Christianity Built Tradition On Misunderstanding

By Dr. Heath Hollensbe

What if the Bible you were handed isn't the Bible that was written?

What if the "plain meaning" you were taught to trust is actually the product of a thousand quiet assumptions?

So how did modern Christianity end up treating a layered, Jewish library like a rulebook? How did the teachings of Jesus-so soaked in first-century Jewish imagination-get flattened into slogans, arguments, and culture-war talking points?

In this book, Dr. Heath Hollensbe explores the costly trouble we get into when we assume the Bible was personally written for a 21st-century Western reader-rather than recognizing it was written to ancient people and then faithfully preserved, argued over, prayed through, and wrestled with across generations.
