Böcker av Barry a. Jones

"In this book, the author describes a model of theological interpretation of the Bible that brings together different approaches to reading it in a way that is appropriate to the nature of the text as Scripture while also making use of the best resources that have been developed in the long history of biblical study. In the context of the theological interpretation of Scripture, the goal of gaining a wise heart takes on yet another layer of meaning. Wisdom includes making full use of the skills of critical interpretation of the Bible and, at the same time, integrating this knowledge into a life of spiritual integrity and unity that is symbolized by the biblical metaphor of the heart. A wise heart is one that can bring the best of critical study and spiritual devotion together in service to God and others"--
