Description
Reading Scripture with the Saints explores how figures from history interpreted Scripture, revealing diverse approaches to the Old and New Testaments. From theologians and saints to playwrights and politicians, this book examines what pre-modern insights can inform contemporary biblical interpretation.
C. Clifton Black traverses the Bible, Church History, systematic theology, Elizabethan drama, and American politics to retrieve pre-modern perspectives for a post-modern world. By examining how these individuals understood Scripture, readers can gain new insights into the meaning of the Bible today.
