Description

For many of us the Bible is peculiar and unfamiliar territory, unattainable to navigate without a certain more or less knowledge and skill. Roger Ferlo leads his readers through the practical difficulties of reading the Bible, offering advice that may be true to the way Anglicans have read Scripture from the time of Tyndale and Cranmer.

Ferlo explains why the Bible looks the way it does, the theology that lies at the back of the various versions and translations, how to handle the notes and cross-references, and the practical tools needed for studying the Bible. Above all he teaches the importance of approaching the Bible with respect―a book with a long history, complex traditions, and diverse authorship, which should be read by itself terms. Ferlo identifies the ground rules of reading Scripture for Anglicans, noting the particular ways Anglicans have read the Bible for revelation, insight, and ethical directives, and suggesting that Scripture itself contains many clues for unlocking its own mysteries.
