Can We Take the Bible Seriously?
It is often assumed that the way to take the Bible seriously is to take it literally. This talk will challenge that assumption and show how a literal approach to Bible interpretation and a science-based rejection of the Bible have in common a shared assumption that the legitimate function of spiritual literature is to accurately report on facts. We will present as an alternative to those approaches a historical/metaphorical approach to Bible interpretation which emphasizes the way we make meaning out of our life experiences from the standpoints of both the authors and readers of the text. Join us as we explore this topic with Licensed Unity Teacher, David Drumm, while enjoying beautiful music and cherished time together as a community.
