Dr. Andrew Abernethy is the author of several books, including Savoring Scripture and The Book of Isaiah & God's Kingdom. On today's show, we talk about utilizing concepts from the academic study of Scripture without losing the joys of a transformational reading aimed at the heart. We also discuss issues of justice, reading the Bible as a work of literature, how the Scriptures shaped Israel's waiting for the Messiah, and The Chosen. There was also some mutual admiration for Charlie Dates expressed. As Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College, Andy is deeply involved in shaping readers who not only study the Word, but *enjoy* it. Listen in.
