{"product_id":"the-text-in-play-mike-higton-9781498214759","title":"The Text in Play","description":"In The Text in Play, Mike Higton and Rachel Muers conduct a series of experiments in the reading of Scripture. They experiment in the first place with a form of Christian theological exegesis of the Bible that they call \"serious play\"--a form of reading beyond the literal sense that is nevertheless serious about the ethical, historical, and textual responsibilities of the reader. They experiment in the second place with the practice called Scriptural Reasoning--in which Jews, Christians, and Muslims read and argue over their respective Scriptures together--and argue that the practice makes deep sense for \"seriously playful\" Christian readers. This constitutes the most detailed and developed account of Scriptural Reasoning yet published.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Higton, Rachel Muers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498214754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498214759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Mike Higton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44131795861759,"sku":"9781498214759","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c1ee126-b928-4923-88b3-0c2be9ca623d.jpg?v=1687476446","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-text-in-play-mike-higton-9781498214759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
