Do we read the Bible for information about God and salvation, for principles and "truths" that we can use to live better? Or do we read it in order to listen to God and respond in prayer and obedience?<P> The second part of Peterson's momentous five-volume work on spiritual theology, <i>Eat This Book</i> challenges us to read the Scriptures on their own terms, as God's revelation, and to live them as we read them. With warmth and wisdom Peterson offers greatly needed, down-to-earth counsel on spiritual reading. In these pages he draws readers into a fascinating conversation on the nature of language, the ancient practice of lectio divina, and the role of Scripture translations; included here is the "inside story" behind Peterson's own popular Bible translation, <i>The Message.</i><P> Countering the widespread practice of using the Bible for self-serving purposes, Peterson here serves readers with a nourishing entrée into the formative, life-changing art of spiritual reading.<P> Study Guide available. 2399253 2000 Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading total:170|5:56|4:71|3:30|2:8|1:5| 170 675 344 36 2 0 false false Fri Jun 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 21:48:13 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 16:47:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Oct 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 23:36:21 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 23:41:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 08:40:53 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 08:44:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 02 19:41:30 -0800 2008 Sat Apr 25 08:27:42 -0700 2009
