I agree wholeheartedly - though it's been some time since I read Ferlo. I'm 57, hadn't picked up a bible to read until I was 37, now ordained Piskie priest. It did change my life - in concert with prayer and meditation. Cradle Episcopalian that I am, I still had no idea how much scripture we are exposed to - perhaps that is, though, why scripture touched me so deeply. <BR/><BR/>I think the problem most have with scripture is the overweening temptation to choose what they agree with and discount the other. I do it all the time. But preaching every week (and more) has forced me to search for an overall theme, a big picture, which helps me to tie it all together. Mine is 'do not be afraid,' which probably means little without endless discussion, but it is the main thing I take from scripture - humankind's attempt to record God's self revelation. I suspect each person's 'big picture' might vary based on their own psychological history and maturity... anyway, thanks - may I use portions of this in my 'Bible 101' class with attribution?Fr Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04232925124388686609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703340.post-50211475373302241652008-12-19T23:33:00.000-05:002008-12-19T23:33:00.000-05:00Totally off topic, I just <A HREF="http://perpetuaofcarthage.blogspot.com/2008/12/merry-christmas-and-tag-youre-it.html" REL="nofollow">tagged you</A>.Perpetuahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16632860530530786486noreply@blogger.com
