Book Overview
In Making Sense of Scripture, David Lose invites the reader to engage in a conversation, one that he imagines discussing around his kitchen table, about seven major questions of the Bible. More than a standard biblical reference book, Making Sense of Scripture is a dialogue that encourages readers to bring their questions or doubts to the table when reading Scripture. During this conversation, there are different opportunities for the reader to interact with the Bible, ultimately leaving room for personal transformation of the heart and mind.

Makes sense of Scripture. . . and life!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book deserves the highest rating - seven stars on a five-star scale! That's because it does what the title says - "making sense of Scripture" - and so much more. It doesn't merely define the Bible, nor "defend" it. The book helps readers make sense of their life with God - a bond of love that constantly grows by our engaging in an ongoing conversation with the faithful (yet very human) witnesses we meet in Scripture. In a Q & A format, Dr. Lose writes as a genial teacher who works at connecting with us as conversation partners; he's not out to impress or intimidate. But don't let his light touch fool you. Heavy, complex subjects are explained simply (but not simplistically) and illuminated with apt, often humorous illustrations. To process what he says, group use - more conversation - is what the book is designed for. But individuals can benefit as well, talking things out in their heads. I'll also use it for students' orientation to Bible study in the classes I teach.
