The Bible is a collection of ancient texts written in different historical, cultural, and literary contexts. To interpret it accurately, we need to consider factors like the author’s historical background, intent, audience, and literary genre of each passage. Ignoring context can lead to misinterpretation and misunderstanding of the Bible’s teachings. But this is easier said than done.
Bestselling author and professor Kristi McLelland is on the show today, helping us see the Bible through a new lens, from beginning to end. She shares about her book Rediscovering Israel and helps us experience the living God and His Word as never before!
Join us in exploring the biblical narrative in the historical, cultural, geographic, and linguistic contexts in which it was written. Whether you are preparing for a pilgrimage to Israel or you desire to experience a fresh encounter with Scripture, Kristi offers a welcome blend of biblical truth, faithful research, and personal reflections that will enrich your interactions with God’s Word.
