The Bible By Gomes: Interpreting The Bible

Improved Essays
The author Gomes clearly explained in his book that why interpreting the Bible can be very difficult. He wrote in his book, “To read is to interpret. This is neither an esoteric nor a subtle point, but when it comes to the reading and interpretation of the Bible it is a point that cannot be made too often or too clearly.” (GomesPeter, 2002) Furthermore, he explains the reason why we cannot make precise interpretation. He wrote, “The “community of interpretation.” Were we to visualize what we have just described, we would have a triangle within a circle within a square, a strange-looking device, which, like the symbols in mathematics, allows us to represent a process that itself is invisible and so fundamental as almost to be missed.” (GomesPeter,

    The Interpreting the New Testament written by Daniel Harrington explains how to use many forms of criticisms and methods to interpret the New Testament Bible. The examples of criticism and methods used to interpret the New Testament are literary criticism, textual criticism, source criticism, form criticism, historical criticism, redaction criticism, translations, words and motifs, parallels, and meaning of the text. These diverse methods have their own unique ways to interpret Scripture for modern readers to understand the author’s messages from distant past. The literary criticism is done when one judges qualities and characters of the literature works.…

    Texts can be interpreted in many different ways. Being able to understand a reading is key in filling yourself with knowledge. In Ovid's collection of stories, Metamorphoses, different readers misconstrue what they are told, while others understand the true meaning of what is said to them. Pentheus is an eisegetic reader which means he interprets a text by forcing his own ideas upon it. Pyrrha is a literal reader which means she can only see one meaning and can not recognize symbols or metaphors.…

    Author, Malcolm Gladwell, in chapter 4 of his book titled, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants, challenges the common definition of the word “disadvantage” by using evidence about people who are dyslexic. He uses logical and emotional appeals and repetition to make the reader question their interpretations of disadvantages, to emphasize we can overcome those difficulties and to suggest that some difficulties may even be desirable. Gladwell opens the chapter expounding upon what dyslexia is and what a disadvantage it can be. He appeals to the logical side of readers with the statement, “What do we mean when we call something a disadvantage? Conventional wisdom holds that a disadvantage is something that ought to be avoided—that it is a setback or a difficulty that leaves you worse off than you would be otherwise.…

    In addition, theologians have argued for centuries over how to correctly interpret the Bible. Some theologians view the Bible as a literal text and the unadulterated Word of God, while linguists perceive it as a set of principles mired in symbolism and metaphors, and there are even esteemed scholars of ancient civilizations that dismiss the Bible altogether as nothing more than a group of legends and fairy…

    leaving the shore to effectively illustrate this point, he writes, “...when a ship floats on over a tranquil sea, all the things outside seem to the voyagers to be moving in a movement which is the image of their own” (13). This optical illusion mirrors the geocentrism Copernicus was attempting to dispel. Copernicus also noted that clouds and falling objects are not affected by the rotation of the Earth because they obey the same nature as earth. 9. “Whether Many Movements can be Attributed to The Earth, and Concerning the Center of the World.”…

    The search for historical Jesus is a difficult one. As mentioned in the video "From Jesus to Christ: The First Christians," there is no written information about Jesus at the time that he lived, the written information we have is after the time of Jesus’ life and we do not know who the author(s) are. I believe that you have to integrate the historical, and archeology, findings with the messages in the Bible; you cannot ignore solid evidence. As we have learned in this class you must take into account the social norms of the time period of Jesus. You must also take into consideration the various meanings/translations of words from Arabic to Greek to English (Jews does not mean Jews as we know it today).…

    The Bible: From Boring to Transforming “Honestly, reading the Bible is boring,” says 16 year old Micha, “I like the stories and stuff, but don’t see how it applies to my life.” This outlook of scripture is all too common among young people today. Micha represents a generation where all good things come in small screens, where satisfaction is based on speed, and where attention is unnecessary to succeed. This modern era has rejected patience and stillness for busyness and productivity. In such times, the Bible has more to offer than ever before.…

    The Biblical Metanarrative A metanarrative is a story about stories of historical meaning, experience, or knowledge, which offers a society legitimation through the anticipated completion of a master idea. Though people may categorize the metanarrative of the Bible differently, there are four major parts that stand out as someone reads through the Bible. There will be some repetition of concepts as each one is discussed because each part is so closely related. The first concept will build the foundation for which the following three are built.…

    The problem with this premise is that Gould is severely underplaying the amount of people who believe in the literal interpretation of sacred texts. He claims that major western religions “interpret for proper understanding”, however that is a vague term. Proper understanding means very different things for different people, perhaps some people think the Bible should not be taken literally, but more in a metaphorical and allegorical sense. However, lots of religious groups around the world, including the Protestant fundamentals he refers to, think proper understanding means a literal interpretation.…

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading through all seven chapters of Philip Yancey’s book “The Bible Jesus Read.” It felt as though I was sitting across form the writer just soaking in all he had to say. After reading commentaries and Bible dictionaries, this book gave a fresh perspective on the Old Testament. Yancey was not interested in the nitty gritty details of the Old Testament like date and author of books, but rather focusing on the point and the big picture.…
