Genesis Through Time: Dead Sea Scrolls, Part 1 - Episode 085

Genesis Marks the Spot

The Dead Sea Scrolls were an amazing find for the study of the Bible and understanding the context of Jesus' time. They can also help shed light on the ways that the biblical text is used through time by different communities. This can help us understand this strange time we are in today, where we have so much information about the context of the Bible and we discover that historical interpretation is often quite different from interpretation at the time of the final form of the text.
Do you want to help others learn about the context of the Bible, and why that's important for our understanding of this ancient text? The people in our churches who might feel like this is a threat to their faith might actually have a kind of point that we need to acknowledge, so maybe there's a better way we can help curb our tendencies to be too forceful and to understand where others are in their views. By understanding people better, we can then communicate to them better, and better communication is the key to better community. I hope this episode is a blessing to you as you try to teach and communicate the truths of Scripture to others.
