Re-enchanting the Text

Cheryl Bridges Johns
3.99/5 (69 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
In an age where the Bible has been stripped of its sacredness and functional biblical illiteracy reigns, this book makes the case that we must work to re-enchant the text in order to return the Bible to its rightful place in the lives of Christians. The author shows how the Enlightenment misshapes our interpretations of the Bible and explains that both "liberal" and "fundamentalist" interpretation are failed forms of disenchanted readings. We must rediscover the Bible as sacred, dangerous, and mysterious to counteract biblical illiteracy in an increasingly post-Christian landscape.
