...“Dennis Edwards guides curious readers who want to engage the Bible from an Anabaptist perspective. This introductory book provides a helpful map on how to best read the Word—through the lens of the Incarnate Word, Jesus. For congregations looking to rekindle the practice of communal reading of the Bible, this can be a great source to begin.”Sue Park-Hur, denominational minister for leadership development, Mennonite Church USA
“Christians are not as much People of the Book as we are People of the Person. I’m so grateful to Dennis Edwards for writing a book that helps us meet the person of Jesus in the pages of the Bible.”Bruxy Cavey, senior pastor at The Meeting House and author of The End of Religion and Reunion
“This book is a gift to the church from an indispensable biblical scholar with decades of pastoral experience. Rooted in the living Anabaptist tradition and African American faith, Dennis Edwards provides an extremely accessible and informative introduction to the Bible. While breaking down what the Bible is, this book encourages readers to interpret Scripture through the lens of Christ, with the Holy Spirit’s help, in community with others, studiously, with the goal of faithful obedience in the way of Jesus. Your church should be reading this in small groups together!”Drew G. I. Hart, assistant professor of theology at Messiah College and author of Trouble I’ve Seen
