Praise Seeking Understanding

<DIV><I>Praise Seeking Understanding</I> sits at the intersection of three important fields in theology: theological exegesis Augustinian studies and contemporary church practice. Jason Byassee deftly brings the three together revealing an important symbiotic relationship between them -- a relationship hitherto largely ignored.<BR /><BR /> Though current exegetical methods have swung away from a Christological reading of the Old Testament -- rejecting in particular Augustine's treatment of the text -- Byassee believes that is a mistake we must remedy.
