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
