How to Read the Bible

21 Ways to Enjoy and Understand Scripture
Liverpool priest and theologian Miranda Threlfall-Holmes de-mystifies Bible reading to encourage an excitingly experiential approach.

'A fiercely intelligent theologian and historian' - The Independent

'Miranda gives us the confidence to sit and taste the Bible's profound and life-changing goodness.' - Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York

As a vicar, Miranda Threlfall-Holmes is used to being asked to recommend a book on how and why to read the Bible. Filling the gap between popular Bible reading notes and more academic books, How to Read the Bible is the book she'd give to anyone wanting to explore the Bible as part of their faith. Its three main sections delve into the rich heritage of how Christians have read the Bible down the ages:

Part 1 - ways that scripture itself uses other parts of scripture, or models and demonstrates different ways of reading
Part 2 - historical methods of biblical interpretation
Part 3 - the insights and methods of modern theological hermeneutics

Encouraging readers to try out a variety of tried and tested ways of Bible reading How Read the Bible is a refreshingly hands-on approach to understanding this ancient library of texts.

'Exhilarating and hands-on . Miranda Threlfall-Holmes provides a fantastic guide' - Fergus Butler-Gallie
