A vast listenership wants better access to the ancient words and ideas of the Bible. In The Bible Doesn't Say That, Dr. Joel M. Hoffman walks the listener through dozens of instances of mistranslations, misconceptions, and other misunderstandings about the Bible. In 40 short chapters, Hoffman covers fundamental theology, morality, lifestyle, and biblical imagery:
- The famous New Testament quotation "God so loved the world" is a mistranslation, as are the titles "Son of Man" and "Son of God".
- The Bible doesn't call homosexuality a sin, and it doesn't advocate for the one-man-one-woman model of the family that has been dubbed "biblical".
- Jesus had siblings, in spite of the Catholic rhetoric about the "ever-Virgin Mary".
- The Ten Commandments don't prohibit killing or coveting.
Even many of the Bible's details end up distorted: The fruit in the Garden of Eden wasn't an apple, it wasn't a whale that swallowed Jonah, and many animals marched onto Noah's ark in groups of seven, not pairs. The Bible Doesn't Say That succinctly explains each misunderstanding, detailing the nature of what went wrong and offering insight into the original meaning of the world's most popular book.

When we take it from that view we can see that the Bible may not explicity say "yes" to certain things or "no" to certain things, but we see the Father's attitude towards certain things. Although God may not say anything for or against 1 husband 1 wife marriages, if we put ourselves in a father's shoes we certainly wouldn't want our children to go marrying multiple partners because we don't want them to go astray.
Homosexuality and marriage mentioned above are just 2 of many things that Dr. Hoffman address and I just so happen to use those 2 items in this review because out of Dr. Hoffman's other topics, these 2 were the easiest to relate to and 2 of the hotter topics in the book.
So, fair warning, if you are a weak believer and you think this book may shake your faith, please DON'T READ IT. But if you have such a discerning heart as our Father above, then proceed with caution.
