When we turn to God’s Word for encouragement, guidance, and instruction, familiar verses often come to mind. Our associations with these verses are nearly automatic, and they comfort us.
How do we know, though, if we are using these verses to mean what they meant to their original audiences? Diane Chen’s Let Me More of Their Beauty See offers eight examples of how attention to the historical and literary settings can safeguard against taking a text out of context, bring out its transforming power in greater dimension, and help us apply Scripture appropriately in our daily lives. At the end of each chapter, additional readings and reflection questions are provided for personal study or group discussion.
