Reading the Bible Existentially
Many people read Scripture as if it's a collection of rules to be obeyed and facts to be memorized. But they ignore the rich and complex stories that make up the majority of the Bible.

He begins by explaining what "existential" means, showing how it relates to living the Christian life.
