The Importance of Reading the Bible

Alliteracy is a gospel issue. So would not teaching people to read be a spiritual effort? Absolutely. And God has again, we've said this many times in the show, revealed himself by through what he has written. That's why it was important in the Reformation for Martin Luther to tell people that your pastor in all his spiritual status is doing nothing more glorious in the sight of God than the man who is keeping God's streets clean by sweeping them every day. It there's a lot of continuity between the spiritual and the physical.
