Experience Dallas Willard's Transformative Approach to the Bible
Don't just read the Bible. Let the Bible open you to knowing its Author.
Dallas Willard is one of the most beloved figures in the modern spiritual formation movement, and his insights into Scripture have been described as revolutionary. Willard read the Bible with the reverence of a Southern Baptist, the intellect of a philosopher, the heart of a mystic, and the experience of a sufferer. Dave Ripper uncovers the unique, realistic approach Willard took to reading the Bible, in which he moved beyond mere propositional knowledge about God to truly encountering the personal reality of the God of the Bible. This immersive approach to Scripture helps us learn to study, teach, and experience God in Scripture like Willard did, as an apprentice of Jesus.
