Description
Engaging the Word by Michael Johnston is a companion to Volume 2 of The New Church's Teaching Series. This book teaches readers how to use critical and practical tools for reading the Bible, helping them interpret Hebrew and Christian scriptures in their original context and relevance today.
Johnston introduces key terms and concepts of biblical criticism, showing how to read Scripture on three levels: literal, historical, and prophetic. He explores passages touching on ethics, God's nature, Jesus' teachings, and eschatology, offering insights into the physical setting and geography of the Bible.
The purpose of Engaging the Word is to help readers become people who can read and interpret the Bible intelligently and perceptively. It provides fundamental questions to ask of any biblical text to fully understand its meaning for themselves and their worshiping community.
