Learning to Read the Bible, Week 8: Biblical Gaps and Ambiguity: A Feature, Not A Bug - a podcast by Lakeside UMC

Sermon: Biblical Gaps and Ambiguity: A Feature, Not A Bug

Scripture:

Genesis 4:1-7

Speaker: Rev. Dan Wunderlich

Description: We all have a heart and a mind. They do different things, and they each have strengths and weaknesses. Similarly, there are literary styles in the Bible that specifically seek to engage each one, and they too function in different ways. Today, we dig into poetry and prose discourse.

Even if we accept that the Bible is not a textbook or moral instruction manual, we can still desire more clarity. For example, why are so many details in some of the stories either vague or missing completely? It turns out that this isn’t a mistake or just some cultural quirk of ancient literature, but it is an intentional tool of the biblical authors.
