From Memory

This is John Piper reciting the entire book of Philippians from memory. It takes him 17 minutes to complete. It is awesome. While I understand we are making a transition in communication, I still believe that the oral tradition is deeply seated in the human mind and soul. Scripture was meant to be read aloud and memorized. There is power in hearing Scripture and poetry read aloud because it connects us to some of our deepest human roots. Piper models it for us here.
