Making Sense of Scripture: Big Questions About the Book of Faith Lose, David J.
David J. Lose holds the Marlbury E. Anderson Chair in Biblical Preaching at Luther Seminary in St. Paul. Making Sense of Scripture is part of the Book of Faith Adult Bible Studies. In his book, Lose invites the reader to engage in a dialogue about the seven major questions of the Bible. Quoting from the introduction, Lose writes: “Making Sense of Scripture is a book about the Bible, explaining enough of the Bible’s history and nature to make it more accessible to you. Even more, it is a book on how to read the Bible in the first place, and I hope and intend that it will give you confidence to explore the actual content and claims of the Bible on your own.” Making Sense of Scripture is written for lay people in a conversational format. It is highly recommended by Pastor John.

Revelation and the End of All Things Koester, Craig R.
Craig Koester is professor of New Testament at Luther Seminary in St. Paul. Koester begins his book with this sentence: “The power of a book can be seen in what it does to people, and few books have affected people more dramatically than Revelation.” Revelation has been described as alluring, frightening, sensational, and incomprehensible. Revelation has also inspired artworks, musical compositions, and social upheaval. Koester takes lay readers first into some interpretations of Revelation and then guides them through the entire book. It’s a Luther Seminary Bookstore staff recommendation.

About the Bible: Short Answers to Big Questions, Revised and Expanded Edition Fretheim, Terence E.
Terence Fretheim is Elva B. Lovell Professor of Old Testament at Luther Seminary in St. Paul. Should the Bible be interpreted literally? What about the Genesis creation accounts and science? How is God related to suffering? Are some parts of the Bible more important than other parts? Fretheim offers straightforward answers to these and 31 more frequently asked questions. Fretheim believes that living with questions is imperative because it keeps us thinking about matters central to our faith. “Even more, we are called to a ministry of questions: caring about the questions that people have and drawing ourselves and others more deeply into the mystery of faith.” It’s a Luther Seminary Bookstore staff recommendation.
