Seeing God in HD

Biblical illiteracy has reached epidemic proportions even within

the sanctuary of God's church. In a recent survey, many

Americans were convinced that Joan of Arc was Noah's wife and the

Epistles were the spouses of the Apostles. Most have no clue that the

Bible contains 66 books in 3 languages spanning 1400 years. Ten out

of ten people cannot even find the book of Hezekiah . . . and if you

wonder why, you might just be part of the problem. Our airwaves

are littered with misinformation about the Bible and no small dose of

outright heresy. What's worse, most Christ followers have little ability

to distinguish truth from error because they are only vaguely familiar

with the Word of God.

If the Bible really is the revelation of God, this appalling ignorance

will inevitably have detrimental effects on the Church. How will

Christians discover and implement their spiritual gifts if they are not

grounded in the Word? How will beleaguered spiritual warriors send

the enemy into retreat apart from the Sword of Scripture? How will

shepherds feed their flocks without the meaty doctrines of the Bible?

Our assemblies are bloated with the cotton candy of pop-psychology

that so tickles itching ears.

We have mastered the mass assembly with seeker-sensitive

sermons and clever marketing strategies. Don't get me wrong,

this is fantastic progress for evangelism. And frankly, if one had to

choose between evangelism and edification, one should prioritize

lost sheep over emaciated sheep every time. At the same time,

there is no necessary reason for making such a choice given the

informational and technological advances the Lord has graciously

put at our disposal. That's what this book is all about. We want to

offer you the methods of interpretation through technologically

available information. In other words, this book will give you a

college-level course in How to Interpret the Bible using nothing but

your own Bible and free internet resources.
