My Inbox today had a very interesting title that reads "The Bible: So Misunderstood It's a Sin" and I was thinking, wow, a secular news publication promoting the Bible? This must be good...though I had a nagging doubt that it can't be that good...and I was right.

The writer quoted from only two so-called Biblical scholars, Bart Ehrman and Richard E Friedman. Scholars? Maybe. Biblical? Hardly! BTW, Newsweek also featured Ehrman in 2012. How come Newsweek do not seek the views of Bible scholars hailing from Evangelical and conservative circles? Hmmm....me smells a fish somewhere!
My only conclusion from having read the article is that the headline is ironically a reflection of how the writer of the Newsweek article has misunderstood the Bible. One thing for sure, the writer has not chosen a better time for attacking the Bible during this period where Christians everywhere celebrate the main person of the Bible, Jesus Christ.
Of course such a challenge from Newsweek will not go unanswered. But Newsweek is read by lots of people, and so the damage is much more extensive than what can be addressed.
