"We declare to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life" (1 John 1:1).
This book brings together an international group of scholars to explore various aspects of the conviction that Scripture was intended to bring life. It features essays that (1) investigate texts featuring the theme of life, (2) consider how interpreters might approach Scripture with the aim of contributing to the life of the world, and (3) explore ways in which biblical visions of flourishing might bear fruit in the world. As such, the chapters collectively illustrate how biblical scholarship might be a handmaiden to the aims of Scripture itself.
