Okay, so the Bible--this ancient library of stories, poems, prayers, biographies, letters, and more--is important for getting to know who God is... where do I even begin to wade into it?  How do we know if we are anywhere in the ballpark of what a given passage, verse, or author is getting at?

Pastors Erica and Steve continue their series of "Big Questions" by raising issues like understanding the difference between translations, figuring out what kind, or "genre," of literatue you are reading in the Bible, and letting the Biblical writers speak on their own terms to take them seriously.  We'll discover that sometimes the Biblical writers may not have been saying what we always assumed they were saying, and sometimes even the most familiar verses carry surprises in them, too.  Join in the conversation and learn some helpful rules of thumb for letting the Scriptures speak!
