While we can still appreciate the construction and grasp some understanding when we read, we miss much of the message because we're working in the wrong medium.

With careful analysis of the gospel writers' particular voices within their own ancient literary context, Borgman and Clark equip readers to read as if hearing, focusing on overlapping patterns of hearing cues that shape each text and embed theological perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Borgman\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus of English at Gordon College and the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Way according to Luke: Hearing the Whole Story of Luke-Acts\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eKelly James Clark\u003c\/b\u003e is senior research fellow at the Kaufman Interfaith Institute at Grand Valley State University; his many other books include \u003ci\u003eWhen Faith Is Not Enough\u003c\/i\u003e.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 389\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 14, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53051829027149,"sku":"9780802877048","price":43.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/OIhbW5La1i9780802877048.webp?v=1766454934","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/written-to-be-heard-recovering-the-messages-of-the-gospels-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
