"Misread Passages of Scripture" by James Baldwin Brown is a theological work written in the late 19th century. The book aims to address and clarify common misunderstandings of key Biblical passages, exploring how various theological perspectives and traditions influence interpretations of scripture. Through a series of sermons, the author attempts to foster a deeper understanding of the essence and principles of Christ's teachings, aiming to mitigate misapprehensions that may hinder spiritual growth. The opening of the work begins with a preface where Brown reveals that the sermons are part of a larger series, which he could not complete due to ill health. He emphasizes the necessity of understanding scripture beyond the biases introduced by different theological schools, asserting that these biases can lead to detrimental misreadings of key passages. He introduces the first sermon, focusing on the phrase "My kingdom is not of this world" from the Gospel of John, detailing its significance and exploring the varying interpretations that have arisen over time. Brown highlights the profound implications of these words on the understanding of Christ's kingship and the nature of His kingdom, indicating that misconceptions surrounding this passage have historically shaped theological thought and church development.
