More on biblical illiteracy

Biblical illiteracy is engulfing us.  It’s our fault, preachers and church folks.  We have failed.  The new Presbyterian FOG calls pastors “teaching elders” and emphasizes the role we need to assume.  We need to teach.  This is part of my own calling: to study and teach the scriptures, as a way to tell folks about Jesus.  How are those who don’t know about Jesus going to follow him?  They won’t.  Teaching the Bible on it’s own terms--not as a manual for answers, not as a methodology, but as revelation--is a passion of mine.

So I’m always on the lookout for good texts that explain some points about reading scripture for 21^st century, North American people.  Here's  a blog I read today that explains a way to approach scripture that is a “third way.”  Love the name, too: "Left Behind and Loving It."
