Reading Scripture as the Church

"There are few things more basic to the life of the church than reading Scripture, and there are few modern theologians who can teach Christians how to read the Bible more than Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Derek W. Taylor's inspiring and challenging new book sheds light on Bonhoeffer's understanding of how the church is made by God's Word, has engaged in reading it, is gathered around it, and is sent to share it with the world. Reading Scripture as the Church is a significant new contribution to Bonhoeffer studies and to a renewal of the church's relationship with the living Word of God."

"This book is a great idea; it's high time for a fuller engagement with Bonhoeffer's theological hermeneutics. Even those with a few misgivings will benefit from Derek Taylor's appropriation of the core theme: reading Scripture faithfully involves hearing the voice of the risen Christ and together following him."
