Chapter 6
Chap 6: From paper to person--how do we read God's words?
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. What extraordinary claim do we make about the Bible? What question do we skip over?
2. What's the difference between a relationship with the Bible and a relationship with the God of the Bible?
3. Discuss the five ideas Scot gives about the relational approach to the Bible:
a. God does not equal the Bible
b. The Bible is God's communication addressed to God's people.
c. We are to listen
d. We are in a Big Conversation
e. We are in relationship with God when we listen to his communication.
