Too often we look for things in God’s word to justify our thoughts or actions. It is a a time consuming quest to learn to use God’s word to interpret God’s word most often. That book sounds well thought out and points to Truth.

I think the biggest problem that occurs with the Bible is that we come to it seeking something for ourselves… ie how do I make my marriage work, how do I raise kids, how do i manage money, how do I get answers my prayer, or fix my problems etc.. but we don’t come to the Bible looking for GOD. that’s really what the Bible reveals… who HE is, how HE works, what HE thinks. thanks for your post

This book sounds interesting, I don’t think that studying the Bible really fits in a box. Its so complex and rich that I think too many want a simple way of learning about something that is not simple.

Great, thought provoking post! Wouldn’t it be great if Solomon told us the answer; relying on the Holy Spirit, though, is better. 🙂 Blessings, Tammy

This is very intriguing… I think I need to check out this book! I struggle with people’s interpretation of the word and end up seeking “Who God is” as I read the word – searching for His attributes. Thanks for the introduction!

I love this! What a great explanation of what the Bible really is. So often we turn to it like a google search, looking for an answer to our problem. But the Bible isn’t a single answer!

Bookmarked to share!

One of my favorite quotes is actually something my oldest son told me one time: “Jesus didn’t speak in verses; He spoke in parables.” That was his way of saying, you have to look at the big picture to understand what the Bible is saying. That concept has helped me to understand the Bible. Thank you for your thoughtful piece. It’s a great topic to ponder! 🙂
