Round the Sphere Again: Biblical Interpretation

Arcing Again
Did you know that Bible Arc has blogs so that you can follow along as someone who knows what they’re doing arcs a book of the Bible? Here’s a post, for instance, which arcs and then explains 1 Timothy 2:12-15 containing Paul’s instruction to women. (Click on Key in the left sidebar to help you understand the labels on the arc.)

Still Stuck on Romans 1
A list from the verses 18-32 of what every athiest knows about God (Head Heart Hand). This is one of my favorite passages of scripture because it explains so much.

Reminding Me
that Frank Turk is a genius.

Imagine, if you will, the ability to actual capture all the notes you will ever take on every passage of Scripture in your Bible, and never losing those notes. I’m going to show you how to do that….

Here’s his top-secret system (Pyromaniacs).

Parts of my current Bible, which is not all that old, are almost illegible because I’ve written so much in the margins and any other white spaces. I needed this idea and I’m going to do exactly what Frank recommends.

Over and Over
throughout history, heresies give novel interpretations to the words of scripture in order to support unsound ideas.

This is why the conflict between truth and error will primarily focus on the exegesis and interpretation of Scripture, dealing with the individual words of Scripture and their location within the units of thought where they are found, the books that they are a part of, the type of literature that they belong to, wider matters of their canonical place, and finally of their harmony with the whole counsel of God.
