Summary
Eugene Peterson is convinced that the way we read the Bible is as important as that we read it. Do we read the Bible for information about God and salvation, for principles and "truths" that we can use to live better? Or do we read it in order to listen to God and respond in prayer and obedience? Eat This Book challenges us to read the Scriptures on their own terms, as God’s revelation, and to live them as we read them. In these pages Peterson draws readers into a conversation on the nature of language, the ancient practice of lectio divina, and the role of Scripture translations; included here is the "inside story" behind Peterson’s own popular Bible translation, The Message. This is the second in Peterson's five-volume work on spiritual theology.
