Show Notes

Many people find reading the Bible difficult, trying to understand a long-ago culture and teasing out its lessons and wisdom for today. Join the Rev. Dr. Robert D. Flanagan as he explains the Exercise of Seeing, a structured, dynamic, and powerful way to behold God’s revelation in the world and Word synoptically. Users of the practice can remain focused on the biblical text, engage with the struggle of realizing God’s Word, and see the world’s reality and transcendence. While the practice may sound challenging, readers will quickly discover its joy and promise.

Bob holds a Doctor of Ministry degree in Christian Spirituality at Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS) and was the 2021 VTS spring semester Dean’s Scholar. He also is an adjunct faculty member at General Theological Seminary and a Lifelong Learning instructor at VTS, teaching pastoral ministry and Christian spirituality. Since 2003, he has been a priest, serving in the Diocese of New York. You will find Bob’s books at Amazon or www.robertdflanagan.com.
