For those seeking to return to the sources of ancient Christian spiritual wis-dom, SACRED READING offers a valuable entry point. This work offers a bold and engaging examination of the Western tradition of lectio divina, the contemplative approach to sacred writings, notably the Bible and the spiritual classics. Lectio divina is much more than a way to grasp words on a page; it is a tech-nique of reading from a devotional perspective. Michael Casey writes eloquently and with great learning about this ancient technique of prayer. Casey's fascinating insights, distilled from his deep acquaintance with the Bible and with the ancient books of Western spirituality, clarify the ways meditative practices can be sustained and invigorated. This refreshing book shows how lectio divina leads to a deeper sense of the pres-ence of God by expanding prayer into a comprehensive spiritual approach to living. 248.30892438916 Perpustakaan STTB Bandung Theological Seminary 248.3 Cas s E07004873 Non Fiction 248.3 Cas s Sacred_Reading.jpg 82422 2016-02-01 12:13:31 2025-09-19 17:30:39 machine generated
