Contradictions in the Bible?
An academic approach
Are there contradictions in the Bible? Or do these tensions reveal something deeper about the nature of Scripture itself?
In Contradictions in the Bible? An Academic Approach, Ángel Duarte offers a rigorous and balanced examination of some of the most debated passages in biblical literature. Drawing from textual criticism, historical research, linguistic analysis, archaeology, and theological reflection, this work explores apparent inconsistencies without dismissing the complexity of the biblical tradition.
Rather than undermining faith, this study demonstrates how literary diversity, editorial development, and cultural context contribute to a richer understanding of Scripture. Each chapter engages narrative tensions, legal variations, chronological differences, and theological debates with intellectual honesty and scholarly care.
Designed for students, pastors, researchers, and thoughtful readers, this book invites a mature conversation between faith and reason—encouraging critical inquiry while maintaining deep respect for the biblical text.
