How Does the History of the Bible Affect How We Read It Today? with Dr. Susan Lim


Listen Later

What does it look like to love the Bible? The Bible – 66 books filled with chapters and verses, stories and histories, written by a number of different authors over a period around 1,500 years – this book is the foundation of the Christian faith. The Bible is read in churches around the world every weekend, is read daily by millions of believers, and can even be found in many a hotel drawer. But what does loving the Bible – God’s Word – look like and how does the history of the Bible affect how we look at it and love it today? In today's episode, host Jason Wieland is joined by Dr. Susan Lim. Susan is a historian and writer and has a new book out titled Light of the Word: How Knowing the History of the Bible Illuminates Our Faith. In this conversation, Jason and Susan talk about what it means to love God’s Word, how knowing the historical nature of the Bible can impact how you read it today, what the most compelling challenge to Scripture is and how we respond to it, and what it truly looks like to read the Bible in faith.
