What do we do with the Bible? Does this ancient, sometimes violent and contradictory text have anything to teach us today?

Selective use of scripture - by preachers and politicians alike - has been employed to justify violence, racism, misogyny, homophobia...the list goes on. Still, we believe the Bible has something important to say. How can we read it in a contemplative and intelligent way?

In What Do We Do with the Bible?, Richard Rohr answers just this question. He offers a methodology of hermeneutics (interpretation) that creates a foundation for a hopeful and cosmic vision - incarnation from beginning to end of time. (He explores this vision further in The Universal Christ).

In particular, Father Richard focuses on Jesus' own method of using his Hebrew Scriptures. Jesus read between the lines to find and follow God's mercy, inclusion, and compassionate justice. For him, everything came down to relationship and transformation.

This has helped me to understand a little more about how to read the Bible. And I wish this had been much longer, A whole book on this subject would be so helpful

All of Rohr's titles are worth repeat consumption but this one seemed more density packed that most - to me at least.

I need to listen to this one again.

This should be required reading by anyone who wants to study the sacred scriptures of the Christian faith. Richard is so grounded in his understanding of our Bible. Warning: If you've studied the Bible without the understanding of this teaching, you may not like it....at all. And if you're willing to approach this teaching with an open mind, open heart and open spirit....and be willing to admit you've been mistaken, this book has the power to change the way you read the scriptures, the power to change your faith...and yes, the power to even change your life. Bravo, Fr. Richard Rohr. <3

As always, Rohr combines purpose and love. I do wish he would include his scripture verses in his text. Rohr still has my gratitude.
