What it’s about: Jean-Louis Chrétien, philosophy professor at the Sorbonne in Paris, shows how to appropriately address oneself to the Bible as a listener and doer of the Word, engaging mind and heart, so as to understand and live Christian wisdom, joy, hope and witness, as have the great Christian masters.

The author says: “Let oneself be measured by the Word of God instead of presuming to be the measure of it.”
