Overview
Overview
How to Read the Bible is a course for those who want to move beyond simply devotional reading and begin to explore the depths and richness of Scripture. Dr. Peter Leithart begins with the premise that since God speaks (and writes through inspired authors), those who desire to know Him should learn the discipline of listening. He emphasizes what he calls “spiritual reading” and explains the importance of having mentors and models with Jesus Christ serving as the primary model. Dr. Leithart describes four dimensions of reading—literal, allegorical, moral, and eschatological—which have been in use since the Patristic period and shows how the first three chapters of Genesis provide a framework for nearly all the imagery and conflict through the Bible.
