The Human Element of the Scriptures |
Read the text in its context and pre-text
- The Scriptures is like a newspaper. Its message is expressed in different literary forms
- Because those who wrote it were also human, the text of Scriptures is tied up to a particular period of time and in a particular cultural context.
- Our translations bridge the gap between us and the Scriptures up to a certain point
- There are good translations that help the modern reader get into the mind of the human author of Scriptures
