15: He Had No Idea What I Was Talking About
He recounts a conversation with a famous pastor who just didn’t get what Bell was talking about. Hence the title of the chapter.
To review
- The Bible was written by people.
- What was written reflected the world at their time in their context.
- Read the Bible as an unfolding story where the words reflect how the people understood things in that time and place. Read the Bible in light of where it is headed.
- The Bible comes out of actual history and reflects the totality of the human condition.
