Surprised by Jesus Again: Reading the Bible in Communion with the Saints

A bold, historical, robust approach to reading Scripture and encountering Jesus anew
No one expects to be surprised. Yet biblical interpretation can do exactly that. Christians expect to see Jesus as they read the Bible, but when and how Jesus actually speaks through Scripture can still surprise us!
Drawing on the early church's theological giantsÑOrigen, Augustine, Gregory the Great, and more from the historical cloud of witnessesÑauthor Jason Byassee models how we can recover ancient Christians' multiple ways of reading the Bible to our benefit. As Byassee says, God himself is Jewish, Catholic, and PentecostalÑso much larger than our own little corner on the truthÑand this book offers readers a refreshingly enhanced vision of the Bible and of Jesus himself.
