The Blue Parakeet

This is a great place to start for someone who is trying to learn more about how we should read and interpret the Bible. From here I would highly recommend people read Dr. Peter Enns books on the Bible and Rachel Held Evans' book, “Inspired”.

I am about half way though this book. I have been reading in little chunks because I need to think about it as I am going. Scot is putting into word many things that I have thought about scripture and reading scripture. He is just explaining it much better and more thoroughly than I could.

After having read it I think that this is a book that almost all Christians should read this book. No matter what you think of his examples of how he works out reading scripture, the idea that you should think deeply about how you read scripture is very important.
