God is in the details…
The German art historian Aby Warburg, at one of his lectures at Hamburg University, once said: “Der liebe Gott steckt im Detail…”
“The Good Lord is in the details…”
Hermeneutics and exegesis are two things that I am immensely passionate about. It is an art and a science – the art and science of reading and understanding the Bible in context, and seeing God in the even the smallest of details – those same details we often gloss over.
On this page you will find resources delving deeper into the Word of God. Suitable for reflection, meditation and a deeper understanding of God’s Word. You are welcome to use these resources and share them with your student group, small groups, etc.
May God bless you!
