Description
Reading the Bible to Meet Jesus, part of the Sacred Roots Spiritual Classics series, is a refreshed English version and study guide for the ancient work Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching, written by early church leader Irenaeus of Lyons. Irenaeus captures a sense of the epic scope of God’s plans being worked out in history, culminating in the ministry of Jesus Christ. Irenaeus interacts deeply with Scripture to show how this grand story of God’s activity and presence is demonstrated throughout the Bible. The study guide materials include introductions and discussion questions for each chapter. The questions promote exploration of ancient and modern church experience, engagement with core Christian beliefs and ideas, attention to values and spiritual growth, suggested responses of worship and obedience, and the formation of new habits to integrate into readers’ lives. Readers will find Irenaeus’s enthusiasm for Scripture and the God of Scripture contagious.
