Synopsis

Looking for a guide to interpreting the Bible that is accessible, up-to-date, and theologically grounded? A renowned Old Testament scholar and coauthor of the bestselling The Drama of Scripture introduces us to reading the Bible with an ear toward hearing God's address. 'When we read the Bible, we need, as it were to take off our shoes because we are on holy ground,' says Craig Bartholomew. 'We take up the Bible to read it, only to find that through it God speaks to us. This is the awesome potential of Bible reading and interpretation.'

Bartholomew begins with a theological orientation, including topics such as the relationship between prayer, analysis, and reading Scripture; the Bible as the true story of the whole world; and reading the text using literary, historical, and other methods. He then explores the history of interpretation before discussing how we receive the Bible liturgically, ethically, and missionally. Throughout the book, exercises in lectio divina invite readers to engage both the head and the heart as they learn to interpret the Bible.
