The Blue Parakeet, 2nd Edition: Rethinking How You Read the Bible (audio)
Overview
Parakeets make delightful pets. We cage them or clip their wings to keep them where we want them. Scot McKnight contends that many, conservatives and liberals alike, attempt the same thing with the Bible. We all try to tame it. McKnight’s The Blue Parakeet calls Christians to stop taming the Bible and to let it speak anew to our heart. McKnight challenges us to rethink how to read the Bible, not just to puzzle it together into some systematic belief but to see it as a Story that we’re summoned to enter and to carry forward in our day. Accompanying quizzes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download. The Blue Parakeet is author Scot McKnight’s compelling statement of how to read the Bible in a new evangelical generation. In reexamining the Bible, McKnight provides an exciting “New Way” that appeals to the millions in today’s church who long to be authentic Christians but don’t consider themselves theologically conservative or liberal.
