The Bible was not written for the English-speaking reader. It was written in the Middle East in a radically different culture hundreds of years ago. They did not have the logic that we use so easily - Greek logic. It was written before science began.

The Bible was not written for the English-speaking reader. It was written in the Middle East in a radically different culture hundreds of years ago. They did not have the logic that we use so easily - Greek logic. It was written before science began. If we read the Bible trying to force it into our science and logic, we will often be disappointed. Instead, we need to learn to read it devotionally, with our right brain. The word pictures are beautiful and effective. The narratives tell of God reaching into our history to touch lives. We need to allow our spirits to be blessed by the Creator who is reaching out to us through his Son, Jesus, and his Holy Spirit.

Autorenporträt
I was raised in a pastor's family where God was in the air. The record of God's activities, the Bible, was revered, studied, and memorized.I was expected to become a pastor like my father. Serving three little country churches while in college was fulfilling. But one year in theological seminary became so confusing that I left the ministerial training track. While teaching English, or retraining for Speech/Language therapy, the Bible was always my source of strength. I wrote my Sunday School lessons and was blessed to have many opportunities to substitute preach. The questions of seminary and my Sunday School class forced me to work through what I believed and why. It took ten years of thinking to solve those problems. But I now have a reasoned out position that tells me the Bible is the record of God's reaching into our world to touch many lives.
