From the Back Cover
Literature professor Matthew Mullins shows how learning to read and love poetry can increase our understanding of the biblical text, helping us learn to read and love God's Word more.

"What if reading the Bible is a matter not just of discerning what it says but of attending to how it speaks? Then reading the Bible is more like experiencing a poem than processing a rule book. In this marvelous game changer of a book, Matthew Mullins invites readers to encounter the Bible as literature, not to diminish its revelatory authority but to break open its luminary capacity. I'm so glad this book is in the world."
--James K. A. Smith, Calvin University; editor in chief, Image journal; author of You Are What You Love and On the Road with Saint Augustine

"The expertise and joy Matthew Mullins brings to reading and understanding the literary nature of the Bible will help you not only to enjoy the Bible more but to enjoy poetry, literature, and (dare I say?) life more too. This is a book I will recommend widely and often."
--Karen Swallow Prior, author of On Reading Well: Finding the Good Life through Great Books

"Mullins offers readers of the Bible what is urgently needed in our day: an aesthetics of reading. Mullins's vision for biblical reading (not biblical interpretation!) moves beyond hermeneutical techniques, directing us toward being captured and captivated by the Word of God. As a biblical scholar, I find myself drawn to this grand vision. Erudite, funny, and penetrating, Mullins wears his considerable scholarship lightly, inviting others to delight in the banquet that is reading the Bible. I want a place at that table."
--Heath A. Thomas, Oklahoma Baptist University

"Enjoying the Bible is a work of art that beautifully encourages us to read Scripture with the fullness of our being. For those who consume Scripture as an intellectual exercise, this book challenges you to experience God's Word with your emotions intact. This read will captivate and inspire you."
--Walter R. Strickland II, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
