RE-EXAMINING OUR LENSES

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RESTORATION MOVEMENT HERMENEUTICS AND SPIRITUAL FORMATION

Sometimes, the various ways we interpret the written Word can cloud our view of the Living Word. In Re-Examining Our Lenses, Jeanie Shaw asks us to consider how a selective-literal, Western, and scientific hermeneutic, especially common to those from Restoration church (Stone-Campbell) backgrounds, profoundly influences the ways we view discipleship and spiritual growth. Offering revised lens options for greater clarity and an increased spirit of unity, she invites us to deepen our intimacy with God. As you read these pages, you will be both challenged and thrilled to discover new ways to renew and rejuvenate your relationship with the ever-present, living God.
