Is the Bible still relevant? Some may decry the decline of the Bible’s impact in our secular age, but Scripture still exerts a profound influence on today’s culture. Even people who have never opened a Bible know what a Good Samaritan is. People know what the term “prodigal son” refers to even if they have never read Jesus’s parable about him. What is it about these stories and other biblical passages that makes them so enduring and life-changing?
In 12 New Testament Passages that Changed the World, Joseph Bentz explores some of the most probing New Testament scriptures and demonstrates their ability to touch all types of people.
These twelve passages and others have transformed art, literature, music, film, law, popular culture, the church, and countless individual lives. The Holy Spirit’s life-giving breath continues to infuse them with holy power even today.
