You read it. But do you understand it?

While the Bible is the most famous book in history, it can be intimidating. Yet God's word is for us and all people. It is living and active and has the power to save, give life, and heal. Do we read the Bible attuned to the power of God's word?

John W. Kleinig opens up the riches found in the Bible. He likens God's word to a lavish meal that nourishes and satisfies our souls. He shows us the centrality of Scripture to Christian faith—the word through which the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit speak with one voice to believers on Earth.

John W. Kleinig is a retired lecturer at Australian Lutheran College and an ordained pastor in the Lutheran Church of Australia. He is the author of numerous books, including Wonderfully Made, Grace upon Grace: Spirituality for Today,and commentaries on Hebrews and Leviticus.
