Urban Legends of the New Testament surveys forty of the most commonly misinterpreted passages in the New Testament. These “urban legends” often arise because interpreters neglect a passage’s context, misuse historical background information, or misunderstand the Greek language. For each New Testament text, professor David Croteau describes the popular, incorrect interpretation and then carefully interprets the passage within its literary and historical context. Careful attention is given to sound principles of biblical interpretation to guide readers through the process and reach a more accurate understanding of each text’s meaning. With examples from the Gospels, Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation, Urban Legends of the New Testament will not only help readers avoid missteps in these forty texts but also provide a model for engaging in correct interpretation of other New Testament passages.

‘Other than the Bible, I hesitate to use the term "must read" for a book. This one is definitely a "should read" for anyone who teaches, preaches, or wants to minister more faithfully. The book is engaging, and offers both a negative (doesn't mean this) and positive (means this) response to common urban legends of the NT. You'll be surprised by some beliefs you had that you didn't even realize were not correct, or should be adjusted. The book is also great in pointing to additional resources for further study. Pastors, seminarians, and lay people will all benefit from this book.’ Josh Gerber

A timeless treasure with a fresh touch
Format: Paperback
I’ve read this work before in different editions, this one really stands out. The original text and illustrations are kept intact, which gives it that authentic, almost sacred feeling. What makes it even better are the reflections that connect the ideas to modern life—it’s like the wisdom got updated without losing its soul. A beautiful mix of old and new.

Important read for today’s day and age
Format: Kindle
The Prophet by Khalil Gibran is a masterpiece of a work and an essential reading for anyone on the path of spirituality and self-realization. I love how the author has provided their own reflections from the modern perspective as well. I enjoyed that because I had already read this book, so reading the reflections helped me gain deeper insights.

Timeless words made fresh
Format: Paperback
I’ve read The Prophet before, but this edition gave it new life. The notes feel like a gentle guide, making Gibran’s words hit differently—like they were written for today. The mix of reflections and illustrations makes it both thoughtful and personal. It’s a simple but powerful way to see an old favorite with fresh eyes.
