“Although it is often unstated, the sea looms large in the minds and cultural worlds of the biblical authors. In this gem of a book, readers are trained to see the waterborne contexts and peoples of the Bible in new and illuminating ways. With Stutzman—a seasoned sailor-scholar—as guide, readers learn to engage Scripture and the life of faith from the perspective of the sea and those who traveled it. The promise of transformative ways of seeing and being in the world await those who undertake the voyage.”
