Many of us are taught to read the Bible like historians. We read a passage, use the tools of academia to reconstruct its original context, then tease out morals and principles to help us in our current context. While this approach has many strengths, it also has some major weaknesses, as it can lead to elitist, unstable, unspiritual, and unbiblical interpretations.

This episode continues the first part of this season, where we discuss how the ways that we read the Bible are so different from the ways of the early church.
