Summary
Parakeets make delightful pets. We cage them or clip their wings to keep them where we want them. Scot McKnight contends that many, conservatives and liberals alike, attempt the same thing with the Bible. We all try to tame it. McKnight's The Blue Parakeet calls Christians to stop taming the Bible and to let it speak anew to our heart.
McKnight challenges us to rethink how to read the Bible, not just to puzzle it together into some systematic belief but to see it as a story that we're summoned to enter and to carry forward in our day.
Accompanying quizzes are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

really good
I really appreciated this book. If you are set in your belief system and don't want to move from your position , this book most probably isn't for you. if you want to be challenged and forced to rethink what you believe this could be what you are looking for. I really enjoyed it and will definitely listen and re-read the book at a later date just to keep me on my toes

Concerning
A book for teaching theology that is full of assumptions and jumps to conclusions. I would warn against. Presented fine but content poor overall.

Nothing worthwhile here
Found this by recommendation of Tim Mackie - Promising idea for a book, but the author spends a long time not really saying anything and repeating himself ad nauseam. The vapidness hit a peak at the missional listening section so abandoned the book there- if there was any value after that, the author would do well to make some significant cuts in future editions.
