About this listen

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.

Profile Image for Maureen

Too many assertions and not enough evidence.

I really wanted to like this book because my pastor recommended it. Alas, I was quite disappointed when I got many chapters in, and still had not come upon strong evidence for the assertions made in this book. Many points such as these laws are not made for today are just plainly stated without giving proper evidence as to why the author believes that and that was done many times. I couldn’t continue because I was just getting frustrated with the material. Maybe someone more patient than me will enjoy this read.
