Preachers and Bible study leaders, read this book before your group or congregation does!If taking up the Bible can be considered to be the 'right stick', then understanding and applying it correctly is 'getting the right end of the stick'. It is important to understand scripture in the way that was intended by the divine and human authors.By using worked examples, this book teaches how to approach the Bible in a God-centred and humble way, whilst also avoiding many common mistakes, problems etc.Attacks on scripture from society, philosophers, scholars and well-meaning Christians are also addressed. This book's overall aim is to build Christians' confidence in, and understanding of, the Bible in an applied and helpful way.'David Legg has written another succinct, well-informed, judicious and reliable book on the Christian faith. The Right End of the Stick will inform, help and fascinate even those who've been reading the Bible without too many disasters for many a year; but to those fairly new to it and who really want some steady advice and insight it will be extremely helpful. This book is as waffle-free as Christian books get, and yet, though full of facts and argument, Legg manages at the same time to fit in lots of illustrations and stories to get his points across. The sections on Bible translations and texts are especially good in terms of what used to be called multum in parvo - a lot in a short space. Highly commended.'- Chris Bennett'David Legg has written an excellent book for the popular reader on how to avoid misreading the Bible and how to aim at properly understanding it. He covers such matters as right attitudes, understanding and recognizing context, spotting biblical themes, handling paradoxes, recognizing unbelief in interpreters, and misunderstanding differences in culture between our age and that of the Bible. He includes a good discussion of ancient manuscripts, which few readers without Greek are likely to have been exposed to. He includes a brief section on post-modernism, which (practically) may be responsible for people ignoring cautions in this recent corona virus outbreak. I highly recommend this work.'- Dr. Robert C. Newman
