In today's message, we conclude our sermon series on How The Bible Actually Works with a look at the letters of the New Testament. Twenty-three of 27 books in the New Testament are letters, written to other people in other times.  Reading them is like reading someone else’s mail - we don’t really understand exactly what was going on.  And yes, those letters also need to be reinterpreted over time and matched to our understanding at the time. The Bible is a history and book of wisdom, not a rulebook to stay out of hell or an encyclopedia of facts.
