#47 - Sea of Galilee (pt. 11) - Feeding Miracles (Mark 6:30-44) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

This week we begin a two-part mini-series on Jesus' feeding miracles - the Feeding of the 5000 (Mark 6:30-44) and the Feeding of the 4000 (Mark 8:1-9).

Our first step is to look at two aspects of Biblical studies: reading narrative and High-Context communication.The majority of the Bible is written in narrative form. Narrative is a very powerful way of communicating information because we - as the reader - participate in the discovery process. When we discover the answer ourselves through a process of revelation, the end result can be transformative.

One difficulty modern westerners have when reading narrative is that it is written in a"high-context"communication style. We will review the differences between"low-context"and"high-context"communication, which can help us gain a proper perspective as we approach the Biblical text.

Finally, since both feeding miracles are written in narrative form, we will begin our exploration of what these stories mean and how the fine details of the narration communicate that meaning.Support Fig Tree Ministries: https://donorbox.org/support-figtree-ministries
