In Bible times, memory was prioritized and practiced more than it is now, which is why Jesus and many authors were able to quote so much Scripture. But how were they able to do it? In this episode, Josh Summers talks with Ken Berding (NT prof at Talbot School of Theology and elder at Redemption Hill Church) about what we’ve lost in biblical literacy and how Scripture memory supports real meditation on God’s Word. Ken shares the heart behind his new book "The Bible by Heart" and walks through Bible-shaped practices like repetition, singing, rhythm, and displaying Scripture so it moves from short-term access into long-term, life-shaping memory.
