About this listen
Bible scholar and popular TikToker Dan McClellan confronts misconceptions about the Bible. This program is read by the author.
The Bible is the world’s most influential book, but do we really know what it says? Every day across social media and in homes, businesses, and public spaces, people try to cut debate short by claiming that "the Bible says so!" However, they commonly disagree about what it actually does and doesn't say, particularly when it comes to socially significant issues. For instance, does the Bible say we should be on the lookout for an antichrist associated with the number 666? Does it say women shouldn’t wear revealing clothing? Does it say it’s okay to hit your kids?
In The Bible Say So, Dan McClellan leverages his popular "data over dogma" approach, and his years of experience in the academy and on social media, to lay out in clear and accessible ways what the data indicate the Bible does and doesn't say about issues ranging from homosexuality, abortion, and slavery to monotheism, inspiration, and even God's wife. Smart, accessible, and informative, The Bible Says So is an invaluable resource for our fractious times.
A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press Essentials.

"With faith-based skepticism and a hint of irreverence... The work will best serve readers hoping to resolve specific issues with how the Bible is used."—Library Journal
"Smart and historically grounded... Combining fine-grained textual analysis with enlightening historical context, this is a valuable resource."—Publishers Weekly
"This book empowers readers to engage with the Bible without fear of questioning. For anyone seeking to understand the Bible beyond literal and inerrant interpretations, Dan's work is an essential guide to finding a more compassionate and authentic connection with scripture…a much-needed resource for the deconstructing Christian."—Rev Karla Kamstra, author of Deconstructing: Leaving Church, Finding Faith

What good scholarship does to interpreting the Bible
The difference between interpretation based on belief and faith and that based on disciplined inquiry is so stark that we must choose which to employ. I chose the latter. This book is an outstanding instance of what we can learn when we inquire with intellectual discipline.

Required reading in 2025.
This book is a clarion call to, as Dan says, "data over dogma." Well reasoned and transparent. Well presented.
