Taught by God: Ancient Hermeneutics for the Modern Church - Paperback
by Brandon D. Smith (Author)
In Taught by God, theologian Brandon D. Smith invites modern Christians to rediscover the early church's approach to biblical interpretation, not just as an historical relic but as a vibrant means of understanding the Bible today. Smith introduces three "sensibilities" that Christians throughout church history have shared: a concern for Scripture's very words, its theological and Christological unity, and its importance for the church. Through biblical and historical examples, Taught by God challenges the modern church to read and interpret Scripture with the great cloud of historical witnesses.
Short, easy-to-understand, and extensively researched, Taught by God invites readers to discover further riches in Scripture. These riches take Scripture's divine inspiration and the Christian tradition's reflections on Scripture seriously in order to inspire ever-greater worship of the ultimate author of all Scripture.
