Reading Scripture with the Reformers
Outline : Of the earth-shattering movements that have rocked Western history, certainly the Reformation was one launched and sustained by a book. New explorations of the Bible and its meaning shook a continent. Church, government, business, family - no part of life was left untouched by new investigations into Scripture. In Reading Scripture with the Reformers, Timothy George takes readers through the exciting events of the sixteenth century, showing how this dynamic period was instigated by a fresh return to the Scriptures. George immerses us in the world of the Reformation, its continuities with the ancient and medieval church, and its dramatic upheavals and controversies. Most of all, he uncovers the significant way that the Bible shaped the minds and hearts of the reformers. This engaging volume shows how the key figures of the Reformation read and interpreted Scripture, and how their thought was shaped by what they read. We are invited to see what the church today can learn from the leaders of the Reformation, and how these figures offer a model of reading, praying and living out the Scriptures.
