Rehearsing Scripture: Discovering God's Word in Community - Paperback

by Anna Carter Florence (Author)

SCRIPTURE. We can study it carefully. We can listen to sermons on it and read what the experts say about it. But in the end, says Anna Carter Florence, Scripture needs to be rehearsed and encountered--and we can do that best in community with others. In this book Florence offers concrete, practical tools for reading and rehearsing Scripture in groups. Suitable for new and seasoned Bible readers alike, Florence's Rehearsing Scripture invites solitary readers to become community readers as well--to gather around a shared text and encounter God anew together.
