But, as it turns out, not everyone is in agreement with the purpose of Scripture. Is it a theological textbook, an ancient history, a workbook for life, or perhaps a living encounter with God? In this interview, we explore the idea of Scripture as a sacrament, tracing a sacramental reading of Scripture through the medieval period and the ancient practice of Lectio Divina. This is one you won't want to miss. Check out Dr. Boersma's book: https://amzn.to/453hErISupport Gospel Simplicity:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/gospelsimplicityOne Time Donation: https://www.paypal.me/gospelsimplicityMerch: https://gospelsimplicity.creator-spring.comSupport the show
