What do we do with the Bible? Does an ancient, sometimes violent and contradictory text that has been used to justify violence, racism, misogyny, homophobia and more, really have anything to teach us today?
In this small but powerful book, Richard Rohr explores how we can read the bible in a contemplative and intelligent way. Focusing on Jesus’ own method of using the Hebrew Scriptures, he shows us a way of interpreting the Bible that follows God’s mercy, inclusion and compassionate justice, and creates a foundation for a hopeful vision from the beginning to the end of time.
Warm and accessible, What Do We Do With the Bible? will give you a deeper, more genuine understanding of the Bible and transform your experience of Scripture – whether you are reading the Bible for the first time or returning to it over and over.
