Save on Publisher Spotlight through April 30!$13.29
Overview
Louise Lawrence introduces you to contextual Bible reading, which explores the question “what does the Bible mean to you in your context?”
She provides a practical resource that will enable you to initiate such readings within your own context. Examples of readings from a range of contexts are given, including reading with a group from an urban regeneration area, reading with a rural village, reading with priests and reading with deaf people. Tips and resources for running your own contextual Bible reading are also given enabling you, and your community, to read the Bible in a new light.
With the Logos edition, all Scripture passages in The Word in Place are tagged, appear on mouseover, and link to your favorite Bible translation in your library. With Logos’ advanced features you can utilize powerful searches by topic or Scripture reference, providing an even greater means of understanding context.
