-- Stanley Hauerwas
Writing with clarity, profundity, and humor, Byassee draws on the
church fathers to recover reading habits that can help us become
better and more faithful readers of scripture." -- Jonathan R.
Wilson
"Jason Byassee goes hunting in the church's past and discovers a
long-forgotten and much-needed treasure for today--richer ways of
reading Scripture than the dry, lifeless habits of reading that
bewitch and bewilder the church with illusory, pointless, and
life-sucking arguments. Others have discovered the same treasure,
but Byassee's account stands out as a winsome invitation to an
adventure with Christ."
