Reading the Bible Like Jesus and Paul

If you read the Bible the way Jesus read the Bible, or you read the Bible the way Paul read the Bible, or if you read the Bible the way the writer of Hebrews or Peter or any of the apostles read the Bible, you will fail seminary classes.

That’s your Paul Harvey teaser. Join me today to get the rest of the story.

I want to talk briefly today about how we read the Bible and how we should read the Bible.

Join me today as we discuss:

1. The difference between exegesis and hermeneutics, and why each are important in biblical interpretation.

2. What the heck is historical-critical exegesis?

3. The problem with critical biblical interpretation

4. Why you have to be a Christian to REALLY understand the Bible.

5. Two important guidelines for Bible reading (but not the only guidelines)

6. The Rest of the Story - why Jesus and Paul would fail seminary classes

5. Reading the story through the lens of its conclusion
