73. Car Ride Mailbag #1: How To Read the Bible

Listen Later

On this week’s episode:

  • Rick and Rob record on the road trip back from Myrtle Beach!
  • They both get a great deal at Aldi.
  • The guys dig into the mailbag and discuss how to read the Bible (big thanks to Mike Spiriro for sending in the question).

    • They walk through the following steps:

    First, we must understand the genre of the text:

    • Law
    • History
    • Wisdom
    • Poetry
    • Prophecy/Apocalyptic
    • Gospel
    • Letters/Epistles

      • Second, we must understand the context of the passage (“3 Horizons” approach):

      • 1st Horizon: Literary Context
      • 2nd Horizon: Historical Context
      • 3rd Horizon: Canonical Context
