The Text in Play

More about the book

Exploring innovative approaches to Scripture, this book introduces "serious play," a method of theological exegesis that transcends literal interpretation while maintaining ethical and historical rigor. It also delves into Scriptural Reasoning, a collaborative practice where Jews, Christians, and Muslims engage with each other's texts, advocating its relevance for thoughtful Christian readers. This work offers the most comprehensive examination of Scriptural Reasoning to date, highlighting its potential for fostering interfaith dialogue and deeper understanding.
