Industry Reviews

Barbara Birch invites readers into an embodied, energized, whole brain, whole person engagement with sacred texts. She tells the history of scripture, which began long before religions began to shrink their approach to Bible reading to force intellectual assent to certain beliefs. The first Quakers insisted that scriptures must be read in the Spirit which brought them forth, and that doing so can open us to divine revelation. Contemporary Quakers invite us to approach biblical texts with a prophetic critique of oppressive social structures, as well with as an engagement that allows us to see the world afresh, with greater awareness and more attuned to what is holy. There are ways of engaging with sacred reading that can provide a deeper grounding for prophetic vocal ministry and our collective experiences in meeting for worship. Let this book help you explore how to chew on sacred words, phrases, and passages in creative ways that connect you more fully to God, Spirit, other people, aliveness, and the whole world.
