Jesus in the Books of the Law | Precious Abiodun | Summer of 66

We encourage people to read their bibles - we have a responsibility to teach them how. In this series we will adress each of the six genres of scripture and how to approach them. This series will serve as a foundation to future teaching. 2 Timothy 3: 14 says, "But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." The more we know about the ancient, sacred texts, about their social, cultural and political environment, about their literary-rhetorical texture, and not least about our self-conscious reading of these great texts, the more likely we are to enter into meaningful dialogue with the texts, and thus able to grasp creatively and responsibly their intended sense and significance.
