Interesting and well presented.
thanks
It is obvious that no one reads anything without "interpreting" it. We bring our own values, views and experience to bear on all we read and discuss. I think this is more so with scripture or other writings about things which are difficult, sometimes impossible, to describe completely in words.
Yes, I agree. Most of us have been brought up in a tradition that explains our relationship with God. When confronted with another viewpoint our natural reaction is to reject it out of hand. I think the author explained nicely how we should be aware of how our own preconceived notions affect the way we read the Bible.
