Eat This Book: A Conversation in the Art of Spiritual Reading
From the publisher: "With warmth and wisdom Peterson offers greatly needed, down-to-earth counsel on spiritual reading. In these pages he draws readers into a fascinating 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."
About the Book
Publisher’s description:
Christians feed on Scripture. Holy Scripture nurtures the Holy Community as food nurtures the human body. Enormous amounts of energy, intelligence and prayer are spent in learning how to “eat this book” after the manner of Ezekiel in Babylon and John on Patmos. In Eat this Book Peterson counters the widespread practice of taking personal experience as the final authority for spirituality and calls us back to the Christian Scriptures – not as critics or technicians, but as participants.
