Eerdmans KW - Bible KW - Criticism, interpretation, etc KW - Christian life KW - Biblical teaching N1 - "Eugene Peterson maintains that how we read the Bible is as important as that we read it. The second volume of Peterson's momentous five-part 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. Countering the widespread practice of using the Bible for self-serving purposes, Peterson here serves readers with a nourishing entre�e into the formative, life-changing art of spiritual reading." - from the back of the book; Includes bibliographical references; Contents; I.
