Phenomenal! On repeat.

[Scott W. Blankenship · Rating 5 out of 5]

I listened to this series on Canon+ and it completely changed the way I read the Bible. JBJ is a jem and his lectures are golden. He does an excellent job explaining how we should approach the Bible when we read it, how we should read it, and several other key insights that we can employ in order to see the text through new eyes. And at the end of the day, Jordan will leave you with a deeper love and appreciation for God's Word.

Listened to lectures. Some solid insights and some insights that are a little too creative.

Didn't actually read this book. Placeholder for second read of Borg's Reading The Bible Again.
