A Better Way to Read the Bible
new episode coming soon
Friends,
Today I talked to Richard Beck about his upcoming book, “The Book of Love: A Better Way to Read the Bible”.
And.
Can I tell you something? This is one of the most helpful books about the Bible that I have ever read as Richard walks us through how to read the Bible through a prism of love.
Have you read “How the Bible Actually Works” by Pete Enns?
How about “What Is the Bible?” by Rob Bell?
“Reading the Bible Again for the First Time” by Marcus Borg?
“Heart and Mind” by Alexander John Shaia?
Those are all books that have RADICALLY shaped how I think about the Bible; and this book by Richard is on that list, for sure.
In the episode we talk about how we all read the Bible with a particular hermeneutic and how reading it as a “book of love” pushes up against the comfort zones of conservatives and progressives, alike.
If you have a complicated relationship with the Bible due to how you were taught to think about it and read it in the past, this book will be balm for your soul that will bring healing all the while it challenges you to put your assumptions about the Bible aside to let it breathe and be what it is.
You can pre-order it HERE on Amazon - you won’t be sorry! The episode will drop on June 1.
Oh.
And dropping on May 4 is my chat with MaryAnn McKibben Dana where we talked about her book, “Better Than Normal”.
Until then …
