Reciting with Rachel — Biblical History of Scripture Recitation, with Simon Camilleri
In the debut episode of the Reciting with Rachel series, host Rachel Eernisse of Scripture Speakers welcomes Simon Camilleri of 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 reading in the synagogue, and Paul’s charge to Timothy to devote himself to the public reading of Scripture, this conversation offers a rich, sweeping look at why reading—and reciting—God’s Word aloud has always mattered to His people.
