Misread Passages of Scripture gathers J. Baldwin Brown's sermons on some of the Bible's most familiar and most misunderstood texts, challenging readers to look past inherited theology and discover their living spiritual meaning. Brown's aim is not technical criticism, but a searching exposure of the ways tradition and bias can distort Scripture in popular thought. Across these sermons, he presses the claims of Christ into every part of life, from conscience and government to work, family, and the soul. He reinterprets "My kingdom is not of this world" as a call for Christ's kingdom to renew earthly life rather than withdraw from it, and "render unto Caesar" as a careful distinction between civil obligation and the deeper allegiance owed to God. Other sermons trace Jacob's dream, Esau's loss, and the warning of "no place of repentance" to explore spiritual struggle, divine discipline, and the danger of despising sacred privilege. Again and again, Brown insists that true worth is measured not by wealth, rank, or outward success, but by faith, obedience, and the transforming power of God. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
