Hermeneutics & Theology

I've been reading Kevin vanHoozer's new book, The Drama of Doctrine. It is definitely causing me to think about how I read the Bible. Often I think that we read the Bible without thinking about how it should affect our actions - but all too often we read it as a book that gives us information. Then, the pastor will make the information relevant for our lives. However, in The Drama of Doctrine, the idea is that the Bible the way it is calls us to action. We are called and asked and commanded to respond to God's words.

I'll post more on this later, as I continue to read through it...
