Riassunto

Arguing on recent cognitive evidence that reading a Bible is much more difficult for human brains than seeing images, this book exposes the depth and breadth of Protestant theologians' misunderstandings about how people could reform their spiritual lives - how they could literally change their minds.

Recensione:

'Ellen Spolsky's book is a challenging invitation to "resist the familiar understanding" of old stories ... and to read/ "see in" T/texts new significations through ever different lenses.'

- The European Legacy
