When politicians invoke "biblical values," they often reduce complex scriptural traditions to simplistic talking points. But what does the Bible actually say about today's hot-button issues? This question is far more complicated than it first appears. The Bible isn't a single coherent treatise but a collection of diverse writings developed over a millennium, containing contradictory perspectives on fundamental questions. As Yale professor John Collins demonstrates, extracting a single set of values from Scripture is impossible. The texts don't speak for themselves - they require interpretation, and our presuppositions inevitably influence how we read them. Those who claim "the Bible says" often mask their interpretive role behind appeals to textual authority. Yet intellectual honesty requires acknowledging when biblical texts contradict our modern values rather than distorting them to align with contemporary sensibilities. After all, as Shakespeare noted, "The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose."
