Bible scholar and popular TikToker Dan McClellan confronts misconceptions about the Bible.

The Bible is the worlds 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 shouldnt wear revealing clothing? Does it say its 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.
