The takeaways from this episode:
The Bible was not written to us, meaning that it was not written in any modern language or with our modern assumptions, values and worldview in mind.We can't answer the question, "What DOES it mean (for us)?" until we do the work of seeking an answer to the question, "What DID it mean (for them)?” A passage can't mean something for us that it never would have meant for the original audience.Books for further study:
