Invitation to the Bible offers an up-to-date theological approach to reading the Bible, looking at ways in which we can make it part of our Christian life. This practical and accessible book places biblical interpretation in the context of the church, as part of the tradition which nourishes the community of believers. It also puts the latest scholarship about the Bible at the service of living Christian faith. The book does not assume any background knowledge of the Bible and deals with it in the context of faith.
Stephen Barton illustrates how the Bible can be used within the context of the worship and witness of the Church. There are case studies and readings of particular Bible passages as well as a look at how to approach scripture.
