Product Description

▼▲

In this bold, engaging reexamination of reading the Bible, Scot McKnight calls all Christians from both ends of the spectrum to stop taming the Bible and to let it speak anew to our hearts. He invites us to rethink how to read the Bible, to see it as a story that we're all summoned to enter and to carry forward in our day.

In the first edition, McKnight framed the variety of interpretive issues we must deal with in the Bible as Story, and he tackled the controversial issue of women's roles in church ministry. This second edition also includes new sections on race and slavery, the atonement, Genesis and science, and kingdom and justice issues.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

How are we to live out the Bible today?

In this updated edition of The Blue Parakeet, you'll see how Scripture transcends culture and time, and you'll learn how to read God's Word in a fresh way.

The gospel is designed to be relevant in every culture, in every age, in every language. It's fully capable of this, and we are called to discern how God is speaking to us today. But applying its words and directions on how to live our lives is not always easy.

Professor and author of The King Jesus Bible Scot McKnight challenges us to rethink how to read the Bible, not just to puzzle it together into some systematic belief or historical tradition but to see it as an ongoing Story that we're summoned to enter and to carry forward in our day.

Throughout the Bible, God speaks in each generation, in that generation's ways and beckons us to be a part of his amazing story. The Blue Parakeet is a profound meditation on how God is speaking to our generation through His Word.
