WOW

(I am perfectly aware that I missed last Wednesday.....sorry.)

Last week we talked about the history/making of the Bible - click to find out basically all we covered that week

This week we talked about the interpretation of the Bible - how to do it and why to do it correctly, why there are so many religions all based on the same book, why it can say something different to so many people, etc...

We dove into the different ways to interpret the Bible:
Thematic Interp (theme at a time, Book at a time NOT verse or chapter at a time - verses and chapters weren't added until the 1500's)
Testamental Differentiation (the Old T. isn't complete without the New T and visa versa)
Hapax Identification (Hapax is Greek word that means 'once' - it's a term that used to refer to the words/ideas that are introduced ONCE in the Bible...many of them we accept as the norm, many of them are debatable)

So, we talked about this stuff for a total of over 4 hours so it's hard to sum it all up in a short description but here is the short of it!

What would you say about all this?
