Join Zach for a Summer School 2025!

The Bible has too often been used as a weapon to subjugate women, justify racism, harm LGBTQ+ people, and cover up abuse. In Anti-Apologetics 101: Better Ways to Read the Bible, Zach W. Lambert invites us to read the Bible differently by dismantling four harmful interpretive lenses—Literalism, Apocalypse, Moralism, and Hierarchy—and replacing them with life-giving alternatives—Jesus, Context, Flourishing, and Fruitfulness—offering a more Christlike, justice-centered approach to Scripture that leads to healing and liberation instead of harm.

Topics We’ll Cover:

- What is the Bible, really?
- Identifying and dismantling harmful interpretations of the Bible
- Discovering and implementing healthy interpretations of the Bible
- Engaging with difficult biblical texts like the Canaanite Genocide or the admonition in 1 Timothy 2:12, “I do not permit a woman to teach.”
