Description
Praying the Bible: An Introduction to Lectio Divina by Mariano Magrassi OSB is a guide to the practice of lectio divina, a prayerful reading of the word of God. This ancient Christian tradition has experienced a revival in recent years, and this book reintroduces it as a means of deepening one's relationship with Scripture. Mariano Magrassi synthesizes the key ideas and practices of lectio divina, drawing on the wisdom of the Fathers and medieval monastic writers. The book explores what lectio divina is, how to cultivate the necessary personal dispositions, and how to transform prayed reading into genuine contemplation. With its clear and accessible approach, Praying the Bible offers a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Scripture and their faith. The book is divided into six chapters, each addressing a key aspect of lectio divina: liturgical proclamation, the meaning of the term, key ideas, concrete dispositions, four acts, and the ancient conference and modern review of life.
