Seized by Truth: Reading the Bible as Scripture

Customers who bought this item also bought

When we recall that we are the people of God to whom the Bible is addressed as Scripture, we realize that the fundamental transformation is not the transformation of an ancient message into a contemporary meaning, bur rather the transformation of our lives by means of God's Word. This means that reading the Bible as Scripture has less to do with what tools we bring to the task, however important these may be, and more to do with our own dispositions as we come to our engagement with Scripture.

We come not so much to retrieve facts or to gain information, but to be formed and ultimately, transformed. Scripture does not present us with texts to be mastered but with a Word, God's Word, intent on mastering us, on shaping our lives. Read more Read less. Add all three to Cart Add all three to List.

Seized by Truth: Reading the Bible as Scripture by Joel B. Green

It is a piece of literature that needs to be understood with its place in history, genre, and form. Green lays out his book in a fashion that helps the reader journey through their own understanding of not only biblical interpretation but also what it means to read the Bible as Scripture for themselves. Chapter one Green begins with unpacking why a new view of reading the Bible as Scripture is necessary. Green helps us see the benefits then of using the interpretive tool belt at our disposal from the perspective of formation.

All methods are helpful for seeing the text clearly but for Green something more is needed. The case has been made to read the Bible as Scripture in chapter one, now assuming that we regard the biblical texts in this manner, some major intersections are faced. The first is the birth of the church at Pentecost. How was Scripture read by these first century people? Next we then must address the place of the Old Testament in the Christian canon of Scripture. Is this book actually written for us, yes! Scripture even testifies to the fact it was written for more than just the identified recipients.
