Wondrous Depth: Preaching the Old Testament

Wondrous Depth: Preaching the Old Testament

by EllenF.Davis (Author)

Synopsis

Ellen Davis is concerned by what she calls a shallow reading of Scripture--a reading of what we think we already know instead of an attempt to dig deeper for new insights and revelations. Wondrous Depth is a collection of essays in which Davis argues for a more engaged reading of Scripture that opens the reader up to new knowledge and understanding. Davis also demonstrates that preaching and biblical interpretation are essentially related to one another in that it is essential for preachers to engage in thorough reading and interpretation of Scripture from the pulpit and to encourage their congregations to read the Bible with depth and sensitivity as well.
