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 to take off our shoes, as
it were, because we are on holy ground," says 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 in light of its literary, historical,
and kerygmatic (proclamation) dimensions. 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. Professors
and students of the Bible will value this work. It will also appeal
to church leaders and other serious students of the Bible.
