Our friend Bryan Craig from Denver Mosaic has just posted a couple of blog entries after reading Scot McKnight’s book The Blue Parakeet (Amazon, B&N, CBD). They are about how we miss-read the Bible. The first post details a few ways that we incorrectly approach the text, and the second post shows a number of methods we can use to study scripture that actual hinders our abilities to understand it. Read Brian’s posts and report back how you read it.
Other reviews of McKnight’s book include:
- From the Intervasity Emerging Scholar’s Blog
- From the Burnside Writers Collective
It should be noted that a significant portion of Scot’s book discusses passages in scripture relating to women and their role in the church. Brian’s blog articles don’t mention that much. but the other two reviews discuss that in some detail.
