Parts of the Bible are hard to understand. As even the Apostle Peter found some of Paul’s letters difficult to understand (2 Peter 3:16), there is no shame in admitting that parts of the Bible may initially not make sense to us. When we are confronted with passages that seem violent, counterintuitive, or just gross, we have two options. We can do the hard work to understand the passage in its context and figure out what the appropriate application is today, or we can do what Andy Stanley models in Irresistible.
Irresistible repeats the message that Stanley preached in 2018 in a series of messages titled Aftermath, which we responded to at the time. Stanley argues that many people are rejecting Christianity because they are basing their faith on an inerrant book, and that’s unnecessary because we were never meant to base our faith on a book.
