88 - How To Mishandle A Bible Story
Manage episode 380960105 series 3321737
In this episode I talk about mishandling a Bible story. This is something we should never do. This is something we try hard not to do. But there are times when we handle the stories in the Bible in ways we should not. There are several ways in which we can do this, and I mention several in this episode.
What follows is a brief list.
- Skip the story
- Flip the story
- Moralize the story
- Transform the story into a lecture
- Over-reveal the story too early
- Flatten the story
- Lose the story
- Leave out important details
- Change the context of the story
- Blur the moral of the story
- Add elements to the story that don't fit
- Use a selective interpretation of the story
- Present the story as a myth or legend
- Make the story about yourself instead of the characters
- Ignore the original audience of the story
- Make up details or embellish the story
- Use the story to support a particular agenda
What other ways can we mishandle a text? I would enjoy hearing your take on this issue.
