About this listen

How are we to live out the Bible today?

In this updated edition of The Blue Parakeet—which has sold over 100,000 copies!—you'll see how Scripture transcends culture and time, and you'll learn how to read God's Word in a fresh way.

The gospel is designed to be relevant in every culture, in every age, in every language. It's fully capable of this, and we are called to discern how God is speaking to us today. But applying its words and directions on how to live our lives is not always easy.

Professor and author of The King Jesus Bible Scot McKnight challenges us to rethink how to read the Bible, not just to puzzle it together into some systematic belief or historical tradition but to see it as an ongoing Story that we're summoned to enter and to carry forward in our day.

Throughout the Bible, God speaks in each generation, in that generation's ways and beckons us to be a part of his amazing story. The Blue Parakeet is a profound meditation on how God is speaking to our generation through His Word.

I really appreciated this book. If you are set in your belief system and don't want to move from your position , this book most probably isn't for you. if you want to be challenged and forced to rethink what you believe this could be what you are looking for. I really enjoyed it and will definitely listen and re-read the book at a later date just to keep me on my toes

really good

Found this by recommendation of Tim Mackie - Promising idea for a book, but the author spends a long time not really saying anything and repeating himself ad nauseam. The vapidness hit a peak at the missional listening section so abandoned the book there- if there was any value after that, the author would do well to make some significant cuts in future editions.

Nothing worthwhile here

A book for teaching theology that is full of assumptions and jumps to conclusions. I would warn against. Presented fine but content poor overall.

Concerning
