It's one of the most common challenges to the Christian faith — and honestly, it's a fair one. Can we really trust a collection of ancient documents written by multiple authors across fifteen hundred years? Doesn't the Bible contradict itself? Aren't some parts obviously just poetry or metaphor? This Sunday, Pastor Brian takes on the question:
How Can You Take the Bible Literally?
— and helps us discover that reading the Bible well isn't just about reading it literally. It's about reading it literately. We'll take a guided tour through the genres of writing that Scripture uses, why the differences actually matter, and why the Resurrection, of all things, is the one place where the most literal reading is also the most faithful one. If you've ever had doubts about the Bible, or if someone you love has, this is a Sunday worth bringing them to.
