McKnight states facts and calls out the people and churches that cherry pick verses in the Bible to suite their wants. Tim Mackie from The Bible Project recommends this book multiple times. Im so thankful for Tim, Scott and so many others that call out puffed up pharisees. The Bible is not a weapon, and to manipulate it is sad and disgusting.

I read this book at the suggestion of an egalitarian acquaintance so I could better understand the egalitarian position. I was saddened to read how McKnight doesn't just interpret differently the pertinent Bible passages, but approaches the Bible itself differently. His "that was then, this is now" mindset results in interpreting the meaning of Scripture based on the changing norms of culture. I don't recommend this one.
