73. Car Ride Mailbag #1: How To Read the Bible

On this week’s episode:

• Rick and Rob record on the road trip back from Myrtle Beach!
• They both get a great deal at Aldi.
• The guys dig into the mailbag and discuss how to read the Bible (big thanks to Mike Spiriro for sending in the question).

They walk through the following steps:

First, we must understand the genre of the text:

• Law
• History
• Wisdom
• Poetry
• Prophecy/Apocalyptic
• Gospel
• Letters/Epistles

Second, we must understand the context of the passage (“3 Horizons” approach):

• 1st Horizon: Literary Context
• 2nd Horizon: Historical Context
• 3rd Horizon: Canonical Context
