Deep Exegesis by Peter J. Leithart

The Mystery of Reading Scripture

This book argues for a richly theological, sacramental approach to reading Scripture that sees the Bible as a living, multi-layered text whose meaning unfolds in worshiping communities rather than through detached historical-critical methods alone; it defends typological and christocentric exegesis, emphasizes imagination, liturgy, and the church’s interpretive practices, and challenges modern reductionist readings by showing how faithful, communal interpretation participates in and nourishes covenant life.
