Synopsis

Eat This Book challenges us to read the Scriptures on their own terms, as Gods revelation, and to live them as we read them. 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 Petersons own popular Bible translation, The Message.

About this title

Review:

Peterson's exposition of lectio divina is one of the fullest to appear in recent years... A worthy sequel to his 2004 hit CHRIST PLAYS IN TEN THOUSAND PLACES (Publishers Weekly)

A tour de force in spiritual theology, combining incisive cultural analysis and biblical exposition with a sweeping and engaging vision of the Christian life (for CHRIST PLAYS IN TEN THOUSAND PLACES) (Christianity Today)

Rich, generous, and wise, Peterson's 'conversation' will help readers at every stage of faith to live their faith more deeply (for CHRIST PLAYS IN TEN THOUSAND PLACES) (Publishers Weekly)

'Eugene Peterson is an authoritative voice in the 'spiritual theology' field and well worth listening to.' (Franciscan)

Book Description:

Book two of Eugene Peterson's landmark Spiritual Theology series; foundational reading for the twenty-first century church.
