Being Seen in God
Book Description
In this profound exploration of spiritual understanding, J. Huls examines how we encounter the divine through Scripture, drawing on the influential work of Danish theologian Søren Kierkegaard. Rather than approaching biblical interpretation as an academic exercise, this work reveals Scripture as a mirror that reflects our fundamental relationship with God.
Huls challenges the notion that only scholarly expertise can unlock Scripture's true meaning. Instead, he argues that every person carries an innate understanding of the divine Word, regardless of their educational background or theological training. Scripture serves not as a distant text requiring expert interpretation, but as a reminder of the Word that already speaks within our deepest being.
The book explores a transformative process of spiritual surrender, where human logic and self-assertion must give way to divine wisdom. Only when we truly become silent before God's love, recognizing our limitations in the face of infinite understanding, can the Word begin to guide our existence authentically.
This scholarly yet accessible work contributes to contemporary discussions about biblical interpretation while offering a deeply personal approach to spiritual growth. Huls presents Scripture reading as an intimate encounter with divine love, one that calls us back to our original relationship with God. For readers seeking a more contemplative and transformative approach to spiritual texts, this book offers fresh insights into the nature of divine encounter and personal revelation.
