A More Christlike Word: Reading Scripture the Emmaus Way


COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION

The Scriptures are an essential aspect of the Christian faith.

But we have often equated them with the living Word Himself,

even elevating them above the One to whom they point. In

doing so, we have distorted their central message12and our

view of God. Tragically, this has caused multitudes of people

unnecessary doubt, confusion, and pain in their encounters

with the Scriptures. Many people understand God as being

truly loving and good. Yet, they struggle with depictions of God

in Scripture as wrathful, violent, and genocidal. These 20toxic

texts21 have caused some to set aside their Bibles as R-rated

and unreliable. They have led others to completely reject their

faith. Author and theologian Bradley Jersak has wrestled

deeply with such passages over many years. He has

experienced the same questions, doubt, and pain. In A More

Christlike Word, he offers a clarifying and freeing path forward.

Whether readers consider themselves believers, doubters, or

skeptics, all are invited to a more beautiful and ancient way of

reading the Scriptures. Bradley calls this path the 20Emmaus

Way21 because it demonstrates how Jesus regarded all

Scripture as fulfilled in himself, the final Word of God who

reveals the true nature of the Father. After deconstructing the

modern biblicist/literalist approaches to Scripture interpretation

that have failed us, Brad turns to the early church for a

hermeneutic of prefigurement, treating the Bible as the grand

narrative of redemption, told through a polyphony of voices

and worldviews, culminating in the arrival of Christ as the

eternal Word of God12what God has to say about himself. The

interpretive system of the church fathers and mothers who

gathered the New Testament and preached the gospel from

the Old Testament has largely been ignored or dismissed by

both evangelical and liberal movements, the twin children of


modernity. The patristics explain and model the apostles17

Christ-centered interpretation of the Scriptures. Brad applies

their approach to 20unwrath21 sample passages from each

genre of the Bible, showing how even the cringe-worthy texts

have an important place in the Christotelic saga of divine love.

Your journey on the Emmaus Way will open up to you the

fullness of the Scriptures, and, most important, lead you to the

God who deeply loves and welcomes you. nbsp
