Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart: Part Two: Matthew Through Acts

by Bob Dowell

Overview

Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart provides readers a forum for more fully comprehending the Bible. Each book of the Bible tells a story that relates to the larger story, and to understand each book's story, it is important to understand the larger story, and vice versa. To do so, however, entails a careful reading of the entire Bible, grasping both the fact of the story and the spirit of the story. Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart provides interpretative prose summaries for helping the reader understand and remember the fact of the story, and penetrating poetic summaries for helping the reader experience the story and thereby readily ingest its spirit.

Since Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart would be a bit lengthy under one cover, it is divided into three parts: Part One: The Old Testament; Part Two: Matthew through Acts; and Part Three: Romans through Revelation.

About the Author

Author Bob Dowell, PhD, brings an engaging freshness to traditional Biblical thought through creative utilization of genre and literary device.
In Papa, Tell Us About the Bible, he utilizes an engaging dramatic framework in which the narrative is filtered through the characters' dialogue, thereby producing an engaging playbook for an individual reader to peruse or for a group to enact. In Satan and Me and OBE, he uses a dialogue format to relate a riveting out of body experience in which a man not only visits Hell but engages Satan in a dialogue that addresses why Satan hates God, why he provoked a war in heaven, why he tempted Eve, why the war shifted to earth, why Satan thinks he will win and why the man [now, Old Man] thinks otherwise-a debate in which Satan and Old Man review the Bible seeking evidence to support their respective stances while readers listen and judge. In Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart, he utilizes a poetry component to enhance message.
