<< Five Things to Remember While Reading >>
Genre: Keep in mind a text’s genre - history (narrative), legal code, poetry, prophecy, etc. Each genre requires different things from us, i.e. we must read actively.
Language: Even the original languages of the Bible cannot capture the fullness of God’s Word. The difficulties only multiply when we’re reading a translation into English, etc.
Intention: We should always practice the rhetorical “principle of charity” in reading Scripture. That is, we should assume an author’s purpose is what they say it is.
Interpretation: There is a long tradition of reading Scripture in four senses or ways. Each of them contributes to our understanding and spiritual development.
Homework: Find out what we know (and don’t know) about each text. Read difficult passages in several translations. Explore what the Church Fathers have said. Etc.
