How are we to live out the Bible today? In this updated edition of
The Blue Parakeet, you'll be challenged to see how Scripture
transcends culture and time, and you'll learn how to come to God's
Word with a fresh heart and mind. The gospel is designed to be
relevant in every culture, in every age, in every language. It's
fully capable of this, and, as we read Scripture, we are called to
discern how God is speaking to us today. And yet applying its words
and directions on how to live our lives is not as easy as it seems.
As we talk to the Christians around us about issues that matter,
many of us wonder: how on earth are we reading the same Bible? How
is it that two of us can sit down with the same Bible and come away
with two entirely different answers about everything from
charismatic gifts to the ordaining of women? Professor and author
of The King Jesus Bible Scot McKnight challenges us to rethink how
to read the Bible, not just to puzzle it together into some
systematic belief or historical tradition but to see it as an
ongoing Story that we're summoned to enter and to carry forward in
our day. What we need is a fresh blowing of God's Spirit on our
culture, in our day, and in our ways. We need twenty-first-century
Christians living out the biblical gospel in twenty-first-century
ways. And if we read the Bible properly, we will see that God never
asked one generation to step back in time and live in ways of the
past. Through the Bible, God speaks in each generation, in that
generation's ways and beckons us to be a part of his amazing story.
