How (and How Not) to Read the Bible microblog.intellectualoid.com
@ReaderJohn I really enjoyed this discussion. I have enjoyed much of what I've read from Stephen De Young.
...the kinds of Bible study I knew sought information about God when what we need is God.
I can certainly see the truth of this critique for Evangelical christianity and the methodology and philosophy behind certainly helps induce it. I'll have to give it a listen.
@KyleEssary I wish he and Fr. Damick wouldn't digress so much. (Maybe if I were more tuned into pop culture I'd chuckle along.) But I soldier through to the payoff.
Having listened to the podcast, I'm now working my way through the very long transcript.
@ChrisJWilson I'm not sure Evangelical Christianity is any more a target in this podcast than Western Christianity generally since history-as-Wissenschaft got applied to the histories in the Bible.
@ReaderJohn finally listened to the podcast. Very good. I certainly agreed with at least 75% of their approach and appreciate their perspective.
