Part one of a new series on interpreting the Bible starts this week. Throughout the course of the next three episodes we will be answering the questions: How do we read the Bible as literature? How was the Bible written over time? How do we read the Bible in and out of context? Jeff, Mona and Allen kick everything off with a conversation laying out why the Bible should be recognized as literature and what that means for engaging the text. Rounding out the episode is our second attempt at Pursuit of the Trivial.

A great resource to dive deep into the numerous methods of interpreting the bible is a series of books called Guides to Biblical Scholarship Series. (Book Series - Amazon Affiliate Link)
Another book not mentioned in the episode that might be of some value in approaching scripture is How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth by Gordon D. Fee (Book - Amazon Affiliate Link)
Understand literary genre was an important topic in this week’s conversation. Here are a couple resources for gaining a greater sense of the different literary genres in scripture.
