Assumptions
The Bible is the most consequential and influential book the ever existed and it has much for each of us.
2. It is written in a way that is designed to communicate maximum information in the available space, and it makes the reader a participant and co-author.
3. It is not a historical record but a book of instruction and it is structured and designed as such. It is true in that deep and profound sense.
Sources:
Hebrew and other languages.
Volumes of Jewish interpretation - 3000 years of it.
Modern and Christian interpretative traditions: Accept the Truth from whoever says it.
Philosophy and everything else I know.
I post outlines of each talk on avakesh.com. This Hebrew word means "I will seek".
