by Mike Higton, Rachel Muers

Description
In The Text in Play, Mike Higton and Rachel Muers conduct a series of experiments in the reading of Scripture.
They experiment in the first place with a form of Christian theological exegesis of the Bible that they call "serious play"--a form of reading beyond the literal sense that is nevertheless serious about the ethical, historical, and textual responsibilities of the reader.
They experiment in the second place with the practice called Scriptural Reasoning--in which Jews, Christians, and Muslims read and argue over their respective Scriptures together--and argue that the practice makes deep sense for "seriously playful" Christian readers.
This constitutes the most detailed and developed account of Scriptural Reasoning yet published.
