Re-examining our lenses book review

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 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 and gain increased clarity you will be both challenged and thrilled to discover new ways to renew and rejuvenate your relationship with the ever present living God Re Examining Our Lenses The Relationship Between Restoration Movement Hermeneutics and Spiritual FormationBringing the Holy Spirit back into hermeneuticsI found Jeanie s book an affirmation of the need for the Holy Spirit to be deliberately brought back into the field of hermeneutics Some traditions may not have felt the Spirit s absence but in the tradition I inhibit the same as Jeanie he has been sadly absent. EBook Re-Examining Our lenses Her approach is thorough but warm and sympathetic I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone wishing to understand the restoration hermeneutic and how to incorporate the Holy Spirit into a healthier hermeneutic Re Examining Our Lenses The Relationship Between Restoration Movement Hermeneutics and Spiritual Formation
