United Methodist Church Pastor Adam Hamilton catapulted onto the national stage after his Democratic primary win last month in the race to represent Kansas in the U.S. Senate.

Hamilton, who secured the Democratic nomination to run against incumbent Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, says he's reaching out to conservative Evangelical voters as part of his “Leading From the Middle” statewide tour.

The founding pastor of Resurrection Church in Leawood, Hamilton has positioned himself as an alternative to Marshall, who also identifies as a Christian and was elected to the Senate in 2020.

In a 2014 interview with Jonathan Merritt to promote his book, Making Sense of the Bible: Rediscovering the Power of Scripture Today, Hamilton made several claims regarding the content and inspiration of the Holy Bible.

Here are three of Hamilton’s controversial takes.
