096: The Forgotten Practice That Shaped the Bible As We Know It

Reciting with Rachel — Episode 1
Biblical History of Scripture Recitation, with Simon Camilleri

In the debut episode of the Reciting with Rachel series, host Rachel Eernisse (Scripture Speakers) welcomes Simon Camilleri (Public Bible Reading) all the way from Australia to trace the biblical history of public Scripture reading — from Moses reading the covenant at Sinai, through King Josiah's rediscovery of the Law, to Ezra's reading in Nehemiah 8, Jesus in the synagogue, and Paul's charge to Timothy to devote himself to the public reading of Scripture. A rich, sweeping look at why reading (and reciting) God's Word aloud has always mattered to His people.

Reciting with Rachel is a collaborative series between Scripture Speakers and Scripture Memory Fellowship, hosted on The Scripture Memory Podcast.
