Lectio Divina



In last term's class at Rockbridge Seminary, we discussed various ways to study the bible. One of the more interesting methods was an ancient one - lectio divina.

The idea is to help the readers slow down and let the text speak rather than rushing through deconstructing the text. You pray your way through Scripture asking the Holy Spirit to lead you to truth. A lot of us in that class were interested enough to investigate further. I wish I had known about this book then.

I have a copy and am looking forward to practicing this ancient way of learning more about God through His Word.
