Re: In-Depth Bible Study

I have also started reading a book called Deep Exegesis by Peter Leithart. It looks quite interesting, and I really like the Christocentric approach to exegesis. Tell me about it, I don't know this book. The basic premise is that we shouldn't be trying to strip away the husk of Scripture to get to ...

Re: In-Depth Bible Study

All of the above. I am not limited to those writing from an Anabaptist perspective. I am just curious to see how others dig down deep into the Scripture and what methods they use. So how do you currently approach this? You obviously have done a fair bit of in-depth Bible study yourself ... I wanted...

Re: In-Depth Bible Study

Adam, do you want a Bible study that discusses practical and personal life applications of the Scripture? Or a study that gets into the linguistics and semantics of translations? Are you interested in one that uses the critical-historical method? All of the above. I am not limited to those writing ...

In-Depth Bible Study

Does anyone have any recommended resources or methods for in-depth Bible Study...I mean the kind of Bible study where you can spend weeks on one short book or even a few chapters.

Re: The Role of Satire, Parody, and Sarcasm in Faith

I like to joke and have on MN. Just to clarify, I am not talking about all joking. I think there are many things that are perfectly acceptable to laugh about.

And if my fo...

Re: Anabaptist Remembrance Day

It would seem much more appropriate to remember those who have died in service to the Kingdom of God rather than those who have died in service to the kingdoms of this world.

Re: Church Interpretation of Scripture in Anabaptism

I really like what Finny Kuruvilla says about the importance of the Testimony of the Persecuted Cloud of Witnesses in biblical interpretation. I have summarized his teaching below: ---------- The true teaching of the church is found across time, across persons, across distance, with holiness, and wi...
