A rip-roaring library to inspire ongoing conversation
Many of us were taught to read the Bible as a law code or constitution. We interpreted it and argued about it like lawyers. We saw that it could be weaponized to cause great harm and used to prove almost anything. Many of us are coming to see the Bible as a library: a collection of artifacts that record argument, struggle, breakthrough, discovery, and more. It doesn’t end conversation but keeps us grappling with important questions.
