Listen "169. Jeremy Kimble on the Efficacy of Scripture"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we welcome Dr. Jeremy Kimble to discuss his book Behold and Become: Reading Scripture for Transformation. What is Scripture, and how do Christians understand it’s place in the Christian life? In today’s episode, Dr. Kimble takes us through not only the character of Scripture, but it’s efficacy and authority – as well as some more practical advice for Christians to be more “word-saturated”. What does it mean to pray Scripture, and even to meditate on Scripture? Is the Bible truly one story – rooted and revealing of Jesus Christ? Moreover, we ask Jeremy about the connection between Scripture and the Beatific Vision in a Protestant context that truly honors the place of Scripture as uniquely inspired of and for the Christian Faith.Book: Behold and Become: Reading Scripture for TransformationOther books by Dr. Kimble:How Can I Get More Out of My Bible Reading?40 Questions about Church Membership and DisciplineThat His Spirit May Be Saved: Church Discipline as a Means to Repentance and PerseverenceOther resources:We Become What We Worship by G.K.
