Sample Pages | Publisher’s Website

“Too many Christian communities cultivate an innocuous church-talk that isn’t really about anything and that does not wrestle with the scriptural text. People of the Book offers a rich and compelling alternative in which Christian communities allow themselves to be shaped by their open-ended, holistic, and conversational grappling with the church’s book.”
