Reading with the Faithful

Reading with the Faithful, Volume 1, is a scholarly exploration of biblical criticism and interpretation. Author Seth B Tarrer examines the complex history of how the Christian church has distinguished between true and false prophecy. By analyzing representative interpretations of Jeremiah and Ezekiel, this work of theology traces the evolution of prophetic understanding from the early church through the Protestant tradition.

This reference book focuses on the relationship between Jeremiah 28 and the deuteronomic warnings found in Deuteronomy 13 and 18. Tarrer utilizes a detailed approach to religion and Old Testament studies, acknowledging the influence of Jewish exegetical methods on figures like Jerome and Calvin. The text serves as a rigorous study of Christian theology and the enduring legacy of prophetic interpretation within the Body, Mind and Spirit category.
