“I don’t like to read long and boring theological
books. Yet, Eat This Book is a deep theology book disguises as storybook to me. I ‘hate’ the truths in this
book, but I love the way Eugene says it and I’m persuaded to read it anyway -
and be changed. Reading this book makes me want to read and living the Book,
the Bible ever more faithfully. I fully recommend this book!”
(Richard
Angelus)
Eugene Peterson
is convinced that the way we read the Bible is as important as that we read it.
Do we read the Bible for information about God and salvation, for principles
and "truths" that we can
use to live better? Or do we read it in order to listen to God and respond in
prayer and obedience?
Peterson's Eat This Book challenges us to read the
Scriptures on their own terms, as God's revelation, and to live them as we read
them. With warmth and wisdom Peterson offers greatly needed, down-to-earth
counsel on spiritual reading. In these pages he draws readers into a
fascinating conversation on the nature of language, the ancient practice of lectio divina, and the role of Scripture
translations; included here is the inside
story behind Peterson's own popular Bible (paraphrase) translation, The Message.
Countering the
widespread practice of using the Bible for self-serving purposes, Peterson here
serves readers with a nourishing entree into the formative, life-changing art
of spiritual reading.
