Engaging Jesus and the Gospels with Our Senses
Our physical senses are crucial to gaining knowledge of the world around us. Yet when it comes to Bible reading, we often reduce it to a mere cognitive experience, ignoring the Psalmist's invitation to "taste and see that the Lord is good." Ed Stetzer talks with Biola's Jeannine Hanger about how Jesus, who took on flesh, engaged the senses in his teaching, ministry and interactions with people. They'll talk about the importance of us engaging our senses when reading the Bible to enrich that faith experience.
