Synopsis

The Bible reveals glorious things. And yet we often miss its power because we read it the same way we read any other book. In Reading the Bible Supernaturally, best-selling author John Piper teaches us how to read the Bible in light of its divine author. In doing so, he highlights the Bible's unique ability to reveal God to humanity in a way that informs our minds, transforms our hearts, and ignites our love. With insights into the biblical text drawn from decades of experience studying, preaching, and teaching Scripture, Piper helps us experience the transformative power of God's Word—a power that extends beyond the mere words on the page. Ultimately, Piper shows us that in the seemingly ordinary act of reading the Bible, something supernatural happens: we encounter the living God.

This is a really good book and fills a hole in the Christian book world. Although it's somewhat dense and I'll probably need a re-read to fully digest the concepts, this has been one of the best reads of the year. “This is how God has designed the Scriptures to work for human transformation and fo......more

Goodreads review by Brian on October 16, 2024

Excellent! Part 1: The ultimate goal of reading the Bible is that God would be glorified in the worship of his people (chs. 1-2). In order for this to happen, we must see (chs. 3-5), savor (chs. 6-7), and be transformed (chs. 8-9) by the Word. Part 2: Illumination Part 3: Reading the Bible through hu......more

Goodreads review by Stephen on March 25, 2021

Really outstanding book. I agree with Dr. Carson that any Christian who thoughtfully engages with this book will benefit from it. I’ve learned a lot and have been immensely edified in the process. It covers a lot of ground, and the last section about the natural part of reading the Bible supernatura......more
