Better Ways to Read the Bible

Find your way back to the Bible's good news. Zach Lambert has seen how the Bible has been weaponized to justify racism and sexism, exclude LGBTQ+ people, and silence those speaking against injustice. In Better Ways to Read the Bible: Transforming a Weapon of Harm into a Tool of Healing (2025), he charted a compassionate path forward. Drawing from Lambert's acclaimed and bestselling book, this study offers trusted, pastorally grounded teaching that has already touched thousands of lives. This study reshapes Lambert's book for small groups and individual reflection and can be used alone or in conjunction with the main book. Lambert leads participants through dismantling four harmful interpretive lenses and discovering four new ones that bring healing and wholeness, along with testing out these lenses on a familiar biblical text. Participants can identify and release interpretive frameworks built on racism, sexism, exclusion, and misuse of power, then embrace four Christ-centered alternatives that cultivate compassion, justice, and spiritual renewal. Each book includes everything you need for a meaningful study experience, plus a companion code to redeem on Amplify Media and stream all video sessions and leader resources. Internet connection required. Code is non-transferable, may not be sold separately, and is subject to expiration. Ideal for: Individual study, church small groups, Sunday school classes, and congregational studies.
