David Croteau is an excellent New Testament scholar who teaches at Columbia International University. His new book deals with fifty common misperceptions people have in their understanding of the New Testament Scriptures. He deals with issues like there was no room for Jesus in the Inn (it was a common quest house which has a section for the animals). There were three kings from the orient misunderstood because there are three specific gifts mentioned. He deals with more complex issues like the issue of judging, the myth of the eye of the needle was a small gate in Jerusalem, and issues like the tithe. Overall, Dr. Croteau does a wonderful job decoding the Bible from many contemporary mistakes and putting the gospels and the rest of the New Testament back in its original context and historical setting.
