Description
Reviews
-- Stanley Hauerwas Writing with clarity, profundity, and humor, Byassee draws on the church fathers to recover reading habits that can help us become better and more faithful readers of scripture." -- Jonathan R. Wilson "Jason Byassee goes hunting in the church's past and discovers a long-forgotten and much-needed treasure for today--richer ways of reading Scripture than the dry, lifeless habits of reading that bewitch and bewilder the church with illusory, pointless, and life-sucking arguments. Others have discovered the same treasure, but Byassee's account stands out as a winsome invitation to an adventure with Christ."
