If we're totally honest, the Bible is not an easy book to read and understand. We embrace the foundational reality that while the Bible was written for us, it was not written to us; it was written to people living in a culture thousands of years ago. But learning to think like them can help. Discovering the original writers' intent and the cultural context truly unlocks the Bible in a way that most of us have never experienced before.
