The reading of Scripture holds a central place in Christian
worship. Every week the Word of God becomes flesh again as the
words of the biblical text are read aloud. Those who take on the
responsibility of reading Scripture in public do so knowing its
importance, but rarely having the chance to train in how to do it
better. Most readers have never been given the opportunity to
consider how each act of public reading of Scripture is an
interpretation of the text, nor have they been given the tools for
an effective and faithful reading performance. These are the tools
that Clay Schmit seeks to offer in this practical guide to the
public reading of Scripture. He begins with a brief overview of the
meaning and importance of the spoken word in worship. He then goes
on to provide practical, detailed instructions on how to understand
the text for reading, practice reading it aloud with proper
emphasis, and deliver it in such a way that it becomes alive to the
congregation. The book concludes with several appendices, including
a pronunciation guide for biblical words and an annotated
bibliography that will point the reader in the direction of further
study.
