What is ‘The Accessibility Project’?
First, let me say that I’m not a scholar. I have no theology or literature degrees. I’m just an interested and seeking Christian. I became frustrated at reading through the great classics of Christian literature. I thought that they might be more readable, more ‘accessible’, if they were written in a contemporary style. They might also reach a wider audience. So here I am trying my hand at bringing classics into the 21st century.
My approach is to start with prayer, that the Holy Spirit may work through me. Then I read the books, chapter by chapter. I read each chapter over and over until I can paraphrase it, as if I were relating it to a friend in conversation. I’m sure I will miss some points and much of the author’s original subtlety, but I hope that enough of the essential ideas remain to make this project worthwhile.
