Navigating Tough Texts

A guide for reading and understanding difficult New Testament verses. 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.

Murray J. Harris is Professor Emeritus of New Testament Exegesis and Theology at Trinity Evangelical Theological School, Deerfield, Illinois. Formerly he was Warden of Tyndale House, Cambridge (UK), and Faculty Member of the Divinity School in the University of Cambridge. He is the author of many well-known biblical studies books.
