These questions are great for personal reflection. For our discussion here, online, you may want to share some (or all) of your answers or simply focus on asking questions of or making comments about the reading regarding: What did you really like? What bothered you? What quotes did you find especially important? What changed your thinking, or challenged you, or made you uncomfortable?
1. Why does Scot say "context is everything"? Do you have an example?
2. What's his "seven word secret" and what does he say it reveals about how we've learned to read the Bible.
3. Why did he bring up the Dewey Decimal System? What was the bottom line of that discussion?
4. Story of Stephen in Acts 7--why does Scot use this as an example of the right way to read the Bible?
5. What did you learn from the story of Tyndale?
6. What was Scot's confession in this chapter--why did he explain it to us? What "profoundly profound" realization made him change
7. What is a wiki-story? How is Mathew 4:1-11 used as an example?
8. How do you feel about this book so far? Do you buy what he is saying or does some of it make you feel uncomfortable?
