Sample Book Insights:
#1 The most serious problem people have with the Bible is not a lack of understanding, but the fact that they understand too many things too well. Good interpretation is not about discovering what no one else has ever seen before, but about getting at the plain meaning of the text.
#2 Every reader is also an interpreter. We assume that we understand what we read, but we always bring to the text everything we are, with all of our experiences, culture, and prior understandings of words and ideas.
#3 The need to interpret is also found in the church. For example, most people who argue that women should keep silent in church also argue that the Bible clearly teaches believers’ baptism by immersion, yet many deny that women must do so with some form of head covering.
#4 The antidote to bad interpretation is not no interpretation, but good interpretation, based on commonsense guidelines. The reader should be able to discern between good and not-so-good interpretations and know what makes them one or the other.
