Episode 7
The takeaways from this episode:
- The Bible was not written to us, meaning that it was not written in any modern language or with our modern assumptions, values and worldview in mind.
- We can't answer the question, "What DOES it mean (for us)?" until we do the work of seeking an answer to the question, "What DID it mean (for them)?”
- A passage can't mean something for us that it never would have meant for the original audience.
