Growing up the Holy Bible was introduced into my life by my aunt. I was six years old starting to go to Sunday mass and my aunt giving me a stack of books about the Bible but the children’s version. Until, about 14 years old when the difficult adult version was introduced. Reading both versions, I felt that the Bible is God’s word interpreted through God’s creation – Humans. With God’s word written down, the Bible is just more than a book. It’s our relationship with God and keeping our relationship strong along with continuing to grow. Reading and learning the Bible or any book growing up I unfortunately never paid attention to the author nor when the book was written. Learning about the Bible and with “God’s only son Jesus Christ” walking the earth, after he “suffered and died” the people who were there before and after death I believe were the ones who wrote the Bible. I am just unsure the year the Bible was written. …show more content…

Reading about how Jewish people were the authors of the Bible. On page 13 I was caught off guard when Witherington stated how the Bible is a Jewish Book. I always looked at the Bible to fit all religions’ but to have some difference to shape around a specific religion. The history behind the Bible is something new since I have never asked questions, nor became curious until reading about it. Learning that Jewish people were the first followers of Jesus Christ I can comprehend how the Jewish culture and Israel are a major part of the Holy

12/4/17 BIBL Eat This Book Summary For the special project I chose to read the book “Eat This Book” by Eugene Peterson and throughout reading this book I found it to be interesting on the topic he chose to talk about. But before I go off into what I found interesting about the book and what I gained or learned from after reading this, let go back and explain what this book is about, and the main topic is throughout this book. In the book author Eugene Peterson believes that the way we read the bible is just as important as the fact that we even read the bible to begin with and even goes on to say in the book “Do we read the Bible for information about God and salvation, for principles and ‘truths’ that we can use to live better?

The Biblical Interpretation: A Roadmap is a book helping the reader explore the process of interpreting. Frederick C. Tiffany and Sharon H. Ringe describe this process as a journey of questioning and reading. But, if one of these new explorers has no map, then he or she will get lost, and in a less metaphorical sense, he or she will lose attention of the text. Fortunately, the authors give their learners a guide on how they should create their roadmap. The following paragraphs will expound upon a few of the points Tiffany and Ringe expressed.

It is understandable that everyone will not generate the same perspective when interpreting the Bible, especially when considering controversial concepts. Considering this approach, this material will help when confronting alternative opinions. It is acceptable to recognize that I will not always agree with everyone’s opinions. It is best to keep an open mind when approaching concepts to create a knowledge-based opinion, similar to Jensen’s analysis when interpreting the Bible. This practice will also be useful in the professional setting when making decisions and interpreting results.

How could the Bible be unified when it was written under such a wide variety of circumstances? At least 36 authors-whether king or shepherd, fisherman or tax collector-played a part in its authorship, over a period of 1600 years, and across three different continents. Certainly, these men were not all of one mind, yet this book still expresses the story of Creation, Fall, Rescue, and Restoration throughout. It is one coherent whole with one voice, one tone, and one overarching message, shown through the unchanging nature of God, the consistent view of sin, and the all-encompassing theme of God's redemption of man-namely, Jesus.

The name “Ted Bundy” strikes fear in the hearts of millions of Americans worldwide. He is endowed with titles such as “Mastermind Monster” and the “Campus Killer,” but despite the hype surrounding him, Gary Ridgway (also known as the Green River Killer) had better reasoning skills, better ability to dodge conviction, and more skill in eluding death. Though both serial killers have committed horrifying crimes with similar modi operandi, and though both were convicted of their crimes, Gary Ridgway was ultimately the more intelligent than Ted Bundy. Despite obvious fallacies in logic on both parts, Gary Ridgway reasoned his killing spree much more intelligently than Ted Bundy. The ingredients that make up a serial killer are well-known: childhood

INTRODUCTION The authority of the Scripture is fundamental to evangelical faith and witness. But at the same time, not all evangelicals affirm the inerrancy of the scripture. Biblical inerrancy affirms that the biblical text is accurate and totally free from error of any kind. The difficulty in affirming the inerrancy of scripture does not seem to be so much on the spiritual and moral teachings of the Bible, however, the difficulty perhaps seems to emerge on the issue of accuracy in other disciplines such as history, science and acheology.

The dark ages, with its breakdown of culture and learning, left most people unable to read, and very few books were within economic reach of even the wealthy. This “little scroll,” an “open” book for all, was not reserved for just the clergy. Before the discovery of the printing press, hand-copied books were very large and expensive. Gutenberg’s invention changed all that with its first printing, the Bible. The Reformation lifted up this now accessible, more affordable Book as The Book to lead God’s people.

The Bible is separated into two main sections, the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament tells of the time before Jesus Christ comes into the world. On the other hand, the New Testament tells of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Many people view the Old and New Testament as being totally separate parts of the bible. The view point of these two different sections may be somewhat true for certain subjects, such as the list of unclean animals and the covenant associated with circumcision.

The Bible is the true inspired word of God that was transcribed by the prophets that were moved by the Holy Spirit. Every truth in the Bible is inspired by itself since God is the ultimate author. Throughout time mankind has had revelations revealed to them and then had the same revelations illuminated by the power of God. Though with every era mankind still finds the need to critique and speculate the Word of God and try to find alternatives for everything. The Bible is completely true in everything it states and will always be justified by God himself.

The bible is what helps keeps our faith alive as it contains a rich amount of history that tells us of God’s revelation and the ways how our faith works. Although the bible contains numerous works of different people, it is still a work of God that helps our faith remain constant and grow, as everything written was under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. In some way, I was able to understand the value also of the other books, as before I did not really take interest of the other books included bible, aside from the likes of the Gospels, Genesis, Exodus, Psalms, and Proverbs. Nevertheless, I realized that the books are all part of the bible as each has a purpose to serve and stands as a testament to the infidelity of mankind, and of God’s unfailing love for
