E78: Myth as a Biblical Genre
from Exploring Faith, Pursuing Grace · host Kevin Pendergrass & Lee Grant
Prophecy, History, Poetry, Apocalypse, Epistle, Narrative, Law, all of the preceding represent some of the genres we find in the Bible. Learning to recognize genre leads to a better reading of scripture and provides needed context that is often lost with a 'straightforward' reading of the Bible. What often surprises many Christians (and even scares some) is the realization that Myth is a Biblical genre. This idea of Myth as a Biblical genre is often ignored and even rejected by many believers. After all, if the Bible contains myth, how can we trust any of it? Kevin and Lee discuss this concept in this episode. Wanna tell us how good we're doing? Wanna knock us down a few pegs? Email us at [email protected]! Thanks for listening!
