The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture’s Most Controversial Issues,

Dan McClellan’s latest book, The Bible Says So: What We Get Right (and Wrong) About Scripture’s Most Controversial Issues, is a scholarly yet accessible examination of how people interpret the Bible — and often misinterpret it. In it, McClellan, a Bible scholar and popular TikToker known for his “data over dogma” approach, takes on hot-button topics like homosexuality, abortion, slavery, monotheism, and even questions about God’s wife, showing clearly what the biblical texts actually say and don’t say on these issues. Rather than simply defending traditional readings, he digs into historical context, language, and cultural assumptions to help readers see past surface-level claims and understand the complexities of the world’s most influential book. Smart, engaging, and aimed at de-escalating polarized debates over Scripture, the book has quickly become a bestseller and a go-to resource for anyone seeking a more nuanced view of the Bible.
