ABOUT THE BOOK

So You Think the Bible is Confusing

Understanding Why the Bible Can Seem Confusing

So You Think the Bible Is Confusing is a beginner-friendly Christian study guide that explains how the Bible was written, organized, translated, and interpreted while teaching readers how to approach Scripture with greater confidence, context, and understanding.

At its core, the book addresses a straightforward problem: many people want to understand the Bible but find it confusing. Kenner argues that some of this confusion comes not necessarily from the Bible itself, but from how people approach, read, translate, interpret, and sometimes take Scripture out of context. She wants readers to become comfortable enough with the Bible that they can begin studying it for themselves.

Rather than functioning primarily as a theological textbook, it is written as an accessible introductory Bible guide and study companion. It tackles practical questions such as who wrote the Bible, what it is about, when and where its books were written, how the Old and New Testaments relate, which Bible translation to choose, and where a beginner should start reading.
