“I remember sitting in Pennington’s class when he presented three avenues of reading the Scriptures. I had been taught to only read in one way, but I realized this was a more beautiful practice. People throughout church history have naturally read with this approach. Let Pennington guide you to a better reading where knowing God will come to life not only in your mind but in your whole being.”
—Patrick Schreiner, Associate Professor, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; author, The Visual Word; The Kingdom of God and the Glory of the Cross; and The Mission of the Triune God
“In Come and See, Jonathan Pennington serves as a faithful guide on the road trip of Bible reading. The church is in need of integrative approaches to reading the Bible, approaches that emphasize information, doctrine, and transformation. That is what this book is all about. If you want to be a better student of the Bible, do not wait to grab a copy of Come and See.”
—J. T. English, Lead Pastor, Storyline Church; author, Deep Discipleship; Cofounder, Training the Church and Knowing Faith Podcast
