Leland Ryken,
Leland Ryken is an American literary scholar of the contemporary era, writing within an evangelical tradition with a strong commitment to Scripture’s authority.
He has helped generations of readers see the Bible’s literary shape, including genre, imagery, narrative technique, and poetic form, so that careful reading becomes clearer, richer, and more faithful. His work is especially useful for preachers who want to handle the text with sensitivity to how it communicates, not only to what it states.
He remains valued because he makes literary insight serve biblical clarity rather than academic display, and he equips pastors to read with patience, delight, and precision. Recommended titles include How to Read the Bible as Literature, Words of Delight, and Ryken’s Bible Handbook.
Theological Perspective: Broadly Evangelical
