Synopsis
The Summons of the Text explores the deep conviction that Scripture is not passive. God speaks to us through scripture and calls us to respond to him. This book guides pastors and teachers to handle Scripture in a text-driven way--through the substance, structure, spirit, and summons. This approach submits to the authority of Scripture rather than imposing external themes or applications. Let the text speak to people's minds and hearts and call to people's wills. At the heart of the text is the summons: the moment when the text illuminates the gospel and presses upon the hearer with divine authority. Every passage--whether narrative, epistle, prophecy, or poetry--issues a summons toward justification and sanctification, resulting in deeper obedience, worship, repentance, and commission. Ultimately, this book is designed to equip pastors and teachers to handle Scripture with reverence, clarity, and conviction. Learn to move from explaining the text to being captivated by it. Let the text call its readers to spiritual renewal and a transformative encounter with Christ that demands a response.
