Reading Sacred Scripture
Though well-known and oft-repeated, the advice to read the Bible
like any other book" fails to acknowledge that different books call " for different kinds of reading. The voice of Scripture summons readers to hear
and respond to its words as divine address. Not everyone chooses to read the
Bible on those terms, but in Reading Sacred Scripture Stephen and Martin
Westerholm (father and son) invite their readers to engage seriously with a
dozen major Bible interpreters - ranging from the second century to the
twentieth - who have been attentive to Scripture's voice.
After expertly setting forth pertinent background context in two
initial chapters, the Westerholms devote a separate chapter to each
interpreter, exploring how these key Christian thinkers each understood
Scripture and how it should be read. Though differing widely in their
approaches to the text and its interpretation, these twelve select interpreters
all insisted that the Bible is like no other book and should be read
accordingly.
