506. Context, Genre, and Reading the Bible Faithfully

In this episode of To Be the Church, we talk about why context and genre matter when interpreting Scripture. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible includes historical narrative, poetry, wisdom literature, letters, and apocalyptic imagery—and each genre calls for a different approach.We explore how understanding the original audience, authorial intent, and literary style helps prevent common misreadings, avoids unnecessary conflicts with science, and brings clarity to difficult passages—especially in books like Genesis and Revelation.Contact us at [email protected]
