ianlukemorel 's review for:
I found what he has labeled as the “black ecclesial interpretation” a helpful hermeneutic to balance out the overly “objective” interpretations of the modern evangelical church. His interpretation creates space for a individual experience and how that will inevitably affect the way that we read. Not only does it allow this kind of subjectivity but it celebrates it. Different experiences create different lenses to read the Bible through that will allow us to see new, orthodox readings that would have been missed otherwise.
The reason this is a three star and not five star book is how little he actually delved into the implications of this reading. His writing in this work is sadly very surface level at all the places I felt myself yearning for a deeper understanding. My reading may have been partially skewed by the fact that I listened to this book instead of read it.
I would recommend reading this book simply because I find his hermeneutic unbelievably important for living in the postmodern world.
