Hear Leland Ryken Talk about Studying the Bible as Literature

Download a 39-minute MP3 from SermonAudio.com. Dr. Ryken’s topic is “Words of Delight: The Bible as Literature.” It’s a good introduction to the literary aspects of the Bible, especially if you never had the privilege of taking his Literature of the Bible course at Wheaton College. Dr. Ryken’s trademark wit comes across particularly well at several points.

SermonAudio.com also has several other lectures by Dr. Ryken, including one about Bible translations and one about Puritan views of the Bible.

Dr. Ryken is a general editor for the forthcoming ESV Literary Study Bible. (Is that a new website devoted to the Literary Study Bible? Yes, it is.)
