Connected Learning

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Dr. Lynn Thigpen has written a deeply-researched and moving account of her journey to understand how adults with limited formal education learn—and the heart-breaking reasons why they often flounder. Her findings challenge conventional education and they point to promising alternatives. Along the way she gives a deserved critique to simplistic and mistaken descriptions of orality. I learned a lot from this book, it moved me, and I intend to make changes because of it.”

The Return of Oral Hermeneutics

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“I welcome this provocative book. Steffen and Bjoraker rightly challenge Christians to embrace a more balanced approach to interpreting the Bible and applying it faithfully to daily life. They offer a lengthy defense of oral hermeneutics, of course, but they also show how to guide ordinary men and women to use oral hermeneutical processes to dig deeply into God’s word and open themselves to its transforming power.”
