What that passage meant
There is much more involved in understanding the Bible than most Christian realize. Here are a few quotations you might find helpful:
A biblical sermon is not a book report. It is a proclamation of what has been heard in and through the text.
Leander E. Keck, The Bible in the Pulpit
We learn to “indwell” the story so looking out from within the biblical world with new eyes onto our postmodern lives and world: we stop trying to make the Bible relevant to our lives and instead begin to find ourselves being made relevant to the Bible.
Philip Greenslade, A Passion for God’s Story, p. 42
Crassly literal minds will be blinded to the truth. Intriguing images, dazzling visions, majestic metaphors, stunning symbols are the currency of trade in the last book of the Bible.
Philip Greenslade, A Passion for God’s Story, p. 191
