Too often when we come to the Bible, we settle for easy answers. We move quickly toward the allure of resolution. But when we ask the questions the Bible is asking, we will do these things instead:
understand the Eastern perspective of words, numbers, and core principles like eternal life, truth, sin, and faith
recognize the literary devices and the reclamation of stories used in the Torah
read the historical books both as inspiration and as cautionary tales
interpret the distinct genres in Wisdom Literature, such as psalms and proverbs
decipher the unique elements of prophetic literature
perceive the often tongue-in-cheek nature of the Gospel accounts
view the New Testament letters as inspired, authoritative interpretation of the story of God
