$\"\"$ <\/a>Stephen J. Binz (SSL, Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome), whose ministry has been focused on teaching Bible how to read the Bible, has now authored a series of books from Brazos called \u201cAncient-Future Bible Study.\u201d There are six in this series and they are recommended by a wide range of scholars, including David Neff at Christianity Today, J.K.A. Smith of Calvin, Thomas Oden, Marva Dawn, and Patrick Henry Reardon.<\/p>\n

Each volume moves through the same process of lectio divina: lectio (reading with a listening ear), meditatio (reflecting on the meaning and message), oratio (praying in response), contemplatio (quietly resting in God), and operatio (faithful witness in daily life).<\/p>\n

Abraham: Abraham: Father of All Believers (Ancient-Future Bible Study: Experience Scripture through Lectio Divina)<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Women of the Torah:Women of the Torah: Matriarchs and Heroes of Israel (Ancient-Future Bible Study: Experience Scripture through Lectio Divina)<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Paul: Paul: Apostle to All the Nations (Ancient-Future Bible Study: Experience Scripture through Lectio Divina)<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Peter: Peter: Fisherman and Shepherd of the Church (Ancient-Future Bible Study: Experience Scripture through Lectio Divina)<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Women of the Gospels: Women of the Gospels: Friends and Disciples of Jesus (Ancient-Future Bible Study: Experience Scripture through Lectio Divina)<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

David: David: Shepherd and King of Israel (Ancient-Future Bible Study: Experience Scripture through Lectio Divina)<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These six books were sent to me by Brazos Press. I was not asked to write about the books nor restricted in any way about what to say. [This is the case for less than 50% of the books I review \u2014 they are sent to me as Review Copies.]<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
