Description
Taught by God: Ancient Hermeneutics for the Modern Church In this thought-provoking book, theologian Brandon D. Smith explores the early church's approach to biblical interpretation, inviting modern Christians to rediscover the value of understanding Scripture in a vibrant and living way. Smith identifies three core sensibilities that have guided Christians throughout history: a deep respect for Scripture's words, its theological and Christological unity, and its importance for the church. Through a rich exploration of biblical and historical examples, Smith challenges the modern church to read and interpret Scripture with the wisdom of the past. He argues that by doing so, Christians can uncover new riches in Scripture and deepen their worship of the ultimate author of all Scripture. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the Bible in a more nuanced and meaningful way.
