Pierced by Love, with Dr. Hans Boersma
Hans Boersma returns to Mere Fidelity to discuss lectio divina with Matt, Derek, and Alastair.
Lectio Divina is a popular form of prayer using the reading of Scripture as a means of encountering God. While its origins are in Christian tradition, Lectio Divina is sometimes associated with a kind of individualistic loose spirituality. Dr. Hans Boersma, however, makes a strong case for its use in the devotional lives of faithful Christians. Alastair, Matt, and Derek probe his case in this episode of Mere Fidelity.
