The book begins with an exploration of the different perspectives that Christians bring to reading the Bible, followed by a helpful summary of current research in adult learning. On this basis, Christine Blair sets out the 'Five R's' model for teaching: Remembering, Revisiting the text, Reflecting critically, Reinterpreting, and Responding. For those who prefer to create their own teaching plan, she also provides valuable advice on the three key elements to be found in every successful educational strategy: analytical reflection, storytelling and disciplined imagination, and action through ritual and ministry.
