I do not think that I am alone in the view that the field trip/experiment we had in class the other day was at least slightly awkward for most people. I personally thought that it was a very awkward experience , but then again maybe that is because I am not a big fan of really picking apart literature, which is why this class is good for me. I would also like to say however that the main thing I got out of this expedition has to do with the authors of the bible. The fact that none of these men had a master’s degree in journalism or any specific training just goes to show again how amazing our God is. He took ordinary men and had them come together, through him, to write the most beautiful book ever written. There are all different styles of writing throughout the bible, with each book being a different size and having slightly different information, yet that has not stopped it from being a bestseller for hundreds of years. I had never really stopped to think about that until yesterday. Most of the time I had always just read the Bible as an instruction book, or a way for God to communicate to me. Now that I think about it though, there is some really amazing literature, especially in the poetry department. So from here on out I am going to make an effort to try and see the Bible in a different way and think about who wrote the book, what people they are talking to, with what attitude the book was written, etc. I would encourage you to do the same, because I think it will help us from getting in a rut and not really digest what we are reading from God’s word.
