About the Book

What's that Scripture mean? Ever asked yourself this question when you're reading through the Bible? We all have. Whether we've been saved a long time or are just beginning to follow Christ, there are portions of Scripture that go over our heads. They're puzzling. Odd. Complicated. Strange. What's baptism on behalf of the dead? (1 Corinthians 15:29) Wasn't it rude for Jesus to call a woman a dog? (Mark 7:27) If Jesus is eternal, why is he called the firstborn? (Colossians 1:15) How can we do greater works than Christ? (John 14:12) Scriptures like these are not preached from the pulpit as commonly as our favorite texts. You rarely hear about them in your small group Bible study. And it's definitely not easy to explain what they mean. Think of it like this: if the Bible were an apple orchard, the Scriptures we're most familiar with are like the luscious Honeycrisp. They're our favorites. Like, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and "Love never fails." But strange Scriptures are more like an unripe Granny Smith. There's juice in it, all right, but if you want meaning and life application, you have to do a whole lot more squeezing. That's where Strange Scriptures comes in. Within each short study, author Chris Palmer has aimed to represent scholarship, Greek exegesis, and life application to bring forth a full-bodied study to nourish your soul.

Review :
Chris Palmer's new book Strange Scriptures may seem "strange" at first, but he has done a great job reconsidering New Testament passages that Christian readers tend to avoid because they are hard to understand, even offensive. After explaining them with insights from the original Greek and the ancient historical context, he offers some insightful ways of applying these passages to our lives, followed by a suggested prayer and an activity to drive the point home. Thoughtful Christians will find much to learn from these insights; preachers will also find great sermon illustrations here.--Jon Newton "Author, A Pentecostal Commentary on Revelation" In Strange Scriptures, Chris Palmer takes readers on a journey through many difficult and overlooked passages within the New Testament, offering exegetical insights, spiritual reflections, and life applications. This is a must-read for those looking for an accessible devotional that draws on rich scholarship. Read and be blessed.--Andrew Ray Williams, PhD "St. Basil Fellow, Center for Pastor Theologians" We need fewer books that give you the fish and more books on how to fish. Strange Scriptures will teach you how to fish. In each study, Chris provides sound exegesis from the Greek text, an illustration, and an application--all of which work to bring the text to life in the twenty-first century. One could follow Chris's method for any passage in the text and come away with rich meaning. Chris is a balanced, measured, and trustworthy voice in a sea of theological and political activism.--Nathan Finochio "Founder, TheosU"
