Some books on how to read the Bible are academically informative,
but their rationality can make God seem distant. Other books are
spiritually vibrant but provide few tools that truly help God's
people read the Bible better. Readers need a guide that combines
the academic with the spiritual—that integrates textual analysis
with the illuminating and transformational work of the Holy Spirit.
Drawing from his experience training students to study the Bible,
Andrew Abernethy provides a holistic method that helps readers
listen carefully to what God was saying to the original audience
and what God is saying to us today. Using clear examples, he lays
out six steps: Posture Flow Context Whole Bible Savor God Faithful
response Chapters provide guidance on interpreting biblical genres,
factoring in historical backgrounds, reading each passage in
context, tracing the redemptive storyline of Scripture, and more.
Then, building on a strong grasp of Scripture's meaning, readers
engage the traditional practice of lectio divina and consider how
to respond faithfully to the text. The goal, Abernethy says, is to
encounter God and to be shaped by the Word as we savor its
richness. Filled with practical features such as illustrations,
maps, timelines, and discussion questions, Savoring Scripture is a
valuable guide for students and anyone who wants to study the Bible
more effectively. God has given us a Bible that is for the
hungry—for those willing both to depend on God for provision and
to put in the mental effort to enjoy the feast.
