Eerdmans Publishing Company OUR PRICE: $10.35 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: August 2006 Annotation: Eugene Paterson is convinced that the way we read the Bible is as important as that we read the Bible. Do we read it 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? This guide to Peterson's groundbreaking work enables study groups in schools or churches to delve deeply into his advice on how we should read scripture, leading through the four elements of lectio divina: lectio (we read the text), meditatio (we mediate the text), oratio (we pray the text), and contemplatio (we live the text). Penned with Peter Santucci, and able pastor in the his own right, this study guide should introduce even more people to the wisdom of Eat This Book. |

| Publisher Description: The second part of Peterson's momentous five-volume work on spiritual theology, Eat This Book 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 through a fascinating conversation on the nature of language, the ancient practice of lectio divina, and the role of Scripture translations. What better way to continue that conversation than through an intensive study with other readers? This helpful study guide is designed to enable small groups in schools or churches -- or even individuals -- to delve deeper into the timely wisdom of Eat This Book. Peterson's discussion is here broken up into nine "sessions," each of which contains a summary, quotations to consider, questions for interaction, and a suggested activity, ending with a suggestion for prayer. |
