    Ep. 25 Letters & Law: How to Build the Skill of Reading Biblical Prose Discourse // Full Episode

    What do you do when the Bible seems like it is speaking directly to you? Do you take it at face value or not? What about when the Bible seems completely foreign to you? Do you ignore those parts or not?

    These questions get asked throughout the Bible, but probably the most in the sections of the Bible written in the prose discourse literary style. Because of its direct communication and conversational language, the parts of the Bible written in prose discourse can seem like the parts of the Bible we should try to implement into our lives. But it only takes a little reading to see that application is sometimes more complex than it appears to be. When we build the skill of reading Biblical prose discourse, we develop the wisdom necessary to know when to apply what we read from the Bible, we understand with greater clarity when the Bible is speaking to us and when the Bible was only speaking to a particular audience, and we know when to ignore rulings in the Bible and when to hold firmly to specific commands.
