| Description: |
In this book Frances M. Young begins by exploring the desert spirituality of the early Church Fathers, and develops in this and other ways their approach to the Bible. In doing so, she seeks to recover a sense of the importance of the spiritual meaning of the text, as much as a literal or historic meaning. |
| Synopsis: |
Frances Young explores the ways in which the earliest theologians and preachers read the Bible, and seeks to recover a sense of the importance of the spiritual meaning of the text, as much as the literal or historic meaning. She attempts to bridge a gap between the work of biblical scholars and what is practised and believed by faithful church-goers, by drawing on the wisdom of the church Fathers and exploring their relationship with scripture. Brokenness and Blessing brings together Frances Young's years of work as a scholar in the field of Biblical Studies, and as a preacher, as well as her personal experiences of caring for a son with profound learning disabilities and her journey with him. What emerges is a spirituality which offers both a realistic view of the human condition as well as 'the wonderful gift of grace which brings hope of transformation'. |
