The Garden of Scripture

""The remnants of the vestiges of modernity seek to dissect Scripture as we would a lab animal. We take it apart seeking to find the right interpretation. Tim Tschida's approach, however, invites us to dwell in the imagination, to let Scripture brood in our hearts and minds as we let the Spirit illuminate our reading. This book lets the reader enter into the wonder of Scripture and God's self-revelation in an imaginative and transformative reading."" --Daniel Orlando Álvarez, Associate Professor of Theology, Pentecostal Theological Seminary ""Tim Tschida exemplifies a rare integration of theological intelligence, personal passion, and spiritual commitment. The Garden of Scripture draws well on these exceptional attributes. It abundantly display's Tim's unique ability to share his faith in fresh and vital--revitalizing--ways. He effortlessly integrates exposition and illustration, dialogue and testimony, and instruction and transformation. It is a delightful read, focusing on the wisdom of Scripture while embracing insights from a wide array of thinkers and the dramatic arts. I strongly recommend The Garden of Scripture to anyone who desires a pleasant visit to the living and livable garden of delight--God's word."" --Tony Richie, Associate Professor of Theology, Pentecostal Theological Seminary ""Tim Tschida takes us on a journey into the mysteries of Scripture where beautiful truth awaits discovery. This book masterfully weaves together biblical narrative, personal stories, and insights from theology and literature. It's a delightful as well as insightful journey!"" --Cheryl Bridges Johns, Distinguished Visiting Professor, United Theological Seminary
