Colin Fast has written a short but lucid guide … In an age of diminishing literacy, nothing is more urgent that fostering biblical literacy – the ability to follow the words of the prophets and apostles which point to God’s Word made flesh. Knowing how to follow these words matters, because only in the Bible do we find the words of eternal life.
