A short and rich guide to a short and rich gospel! Rowan Williams explains that the purpose of this book is to “offer suggestions for a slow reading of what notoriously feels like a rushed and packed text" and we used it accordingly, over a six week study group at St Stephen Walbrook this autumn. For those looking for a more formal structure and reading guide, the appendix contains questions for group discussion around the themes covered in each chapter and a weekly reading guide, followed by a short reflection.

BOOK REVIEW : Rehearsing Scripture by Anna Carter Florence
In this book, Anna Carter Florence, (Professor of Preaching at Columbia Theological Seminary), encourages us to use techniques from the world of theatre to help us “find the script in scripture.” Intended as a tool for group-work, the techniques can also be used individually. The purpose is to help us “encounter” scripture rather than just read it - “The Word needs a body” - and to use this experience of encounter to “say something true” to others.
