Bob Cornwall Reviews Learning and Living Scripture

Pastor Bob Cornwall reviewed Learning and Living Scripture today no his Ponderings on a Faith Journey blog.  In summary, he said:

The book is written in such a way that it can be a useful tool for a wide variety of Christian expressions. The authors take a moderately conservative approach to the text, but one could make good use of this method even if one was much more liberal than the authors. The key element here is the attempt to integrate prayer and meditation with deep and even critical biblical study. They don’t assume that prayerful reading is contradicted by healthy questioning of the text. If one were to engage in this kind of study, then the unfortunate illiteracy that plagues the church might be overcome.
