Ellen Davis is concerned by what she calls a "shallow reading" of Scripture--a reading of what we think we already know instead of an attempt to dig deeper for new insights and revelations. Wondrous Depth is a collection of essays in which Davis argues for a more engaged reading of Scripture that opens the reader up to new knowledge and understanding. Davis also demonstrates that preaching and biblical interpretation are essentially related to one another in that it is essential for preachers to engage in thorough reading and interpretation of Scripture from the pulpit and to encourage their congregations to read the Bible with depth and sensitivity as well.

I especially like Davis' proposal of using the Psalms in preaching and how the Psalms can and do illustrate the emotive side of many New Testament texts.
The last section of the book contains four sermons by Davis; the third sermon, based on Psalm 1 and on the topic of prayer is one of the best sermons I have ever read. i am going to copy it and place it at the beginning of the Psalms.
I also appreciated gleaning a few Anglican gems. (
