How to Read Biblical Poetry and Narrative
The bible is a kind of literature that's designed to communicate only after multiple re readings and long periods of meditation in pondering what its meaning is. The experience of discovering what a story or poem means is like peeling back the layers of an onion. Read one story from multiple perspectives. It leaves narrative gaps where we're supposed to engage as readers and wonder, what what's going on here? Could it be this or that? And that's part of the strategy. That's right. Although sometimes someting i lead to v are evaluation, like something that i thought was good was maybe o tis could sound kind of gnostic.
