RLC September Book Club: Zach Lambert - "Better Ways to Read the Bible"

Book Club: "Better Ways to Read the Bible" Join our Book Club discussion of "Better Ways to Read the Bible: Transforming a Weapon of Harm into a Tool of Healing" by Zach W. Lambert. About the Book Zach Lambert has seen the Bible used countless times as something far from the "Good Book"—both in his own life and in the experiences of others. He has witnessed Scripture weaponized to subjugate women, justify racism, bash LGBTQ+ people, cover up abuse, and exclude people who speak out against these injustices. In this accessible guide, Lambert calls readers to a more Christlike interpretation of Scripture. He helps readers dismantle four common lenses that lead to harm—Literalism, Apocalypse, Moralism, and Hierarchy—and offers four new lenses that promote healing and wholeness: Jesus, Context, Flourishing, and Fruitfulness. This book transforms the Bible from a weapon that condemns, oppresses, and excludes into a tool that liberates, welcoming all Christians to reengage Scripture in life-giving ways. About the Author Zach W. Lambert is the lead pastor and founder of Restore, a church in Austin, Texas. Under his leadership, Restore has grown from a launch team of five people in 2015 to more than one thousand members today. He holds a master of theology from Dallas Theological Seminary and is pursuing his doctorate at Duke Divinity School. Zach is the cofounder of the Post-Evangelical Collective and serves on the boards of the Austin Church Planting Network and the Multi-Faith Neighbors Network. Zach and his wife, Amy, met each other in the sixth grade, fell in love at seventeen, and got married at twenty-one. They love watching live music, discovering local Mexican food places, and playing with their two boys. Connect with Zach on social media (X, Threads, Instagram): @zachwlambert
