Deuteronomy 22:6: “If you happen to come upon a bird’s nest along the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the mother siting on the young or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young;”

Step 1: Grasp the text in their town. Summarize the original situation and the meaning of the text for the biblical audience?
The Israelites were being told right before they entered the Promised Land how to live and behave in their daily lives. This is certainly one of the rules that Moses was laying out to them after they crossed the river into the Jordan. Moses was not going to be allowed to follow them into the Promised Land and God was using Moses to exhort to His people how He expected them to live. Clear instructions are given to leave the mother of the young alone, but the young and eggs they had access to. In the first verse of this chapter the Israelites are reminded to be neighborly and help each other with lost oxen. The surrounding context is a clear expecta...

  • Analysis Of Peter Kreeft's The Journey

    1371 Words  | 3 Pages

    The following book of Peter Kreeft’s work, The Journey, will include a summary along with mine and the authors’ critique. As you read the book it is a very pleasant, symbolic story of always-existing wisdom as you go along the pathway of what knowledge really is. It talks about Socrates, someone who thinks a lot about how people think, from Athens, is a huge part in this book. This book is like a roadmap for modern travelers walking the very old pathway in search of reality. It will not only show us the pathway they took, but the pathway that we should take as well.

  • Anne Hutchinson and the Consequences of Misreading

    6002 Words  | 13 Pages

    It is the reader and his or her interpretive community who attempts to impose a unified reading on a given text. Such readers may, and probably will, claim that the unity they find is in the text, but this claim is only a mask for the creative process actually going on. Even the most carefully designed text can not be unified; only the reader's attempted taming of it. Therefore, an attempt to use seams and shifts in the biblical text to discover its textual precursors is based on a fundamentally faulty assumption that one might recover a stage of the text that lacked such fractures (Carr 23-4).

  • Deuteronomy 28 Analysis

    124 Words  | 1 Pages

    Deuteronomy 28 is surrounded around blessings and curses. God’s promise in the blessings and curses is a conditional covenant. In verses 3-14 He establishes the idea that if you fully obey Him, they would be blessed, but if they don’t, then they would be cursed. “ You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country, the fruit of you womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks” (NIV, 28:3-4). Curses are the premise of the second half Deuteronomy 28. “ You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country. Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed”(NIV, 28:16-17).

  • Archetypal Journey Essay

    1726 Words  | 4 Pages

    The archetypal stages in books have been used since the works and discoveries of psychologist, like Carl Jung. Carl Jung saw archetypal stages as recurring images or patterns of situations that come from the unconscious mind. Whereas, Joseph Campbell, a mythologist who wrote a book The Hero of a Thousand Faces, a book about hero’s journeys, demonstrated how characters in books go through a series of stages in order to get to their final destination. In the novels, Jane Eyre and Their Eyes Were Watching God, the main characters all went through their own archetypal stages to get to their final journey to realize or discover their true destiny. Both of the main characters in these novels went through the four stages of the archetypal journey.

  • Interpreting the Bible: A Personal Journey of Learning

    Colorado Christian University has been a building stone in my educational and spiritual growth. The course interpreting the Bible (BIB 230) is no exception to this concept. It challenged me to think critically about the passages I am reading and to look at each word that the author uses. Learning to interpret the Bible takes a lot of research and many hours of reading the scriptures to comprehend how God is speaking through each author, which this course strengthened those habits.

    The writer of the book The Journey Home, zestful environmentalist Edward Abbey is angry at and loathes the idea of incessant update of technology and machinery. To him, it’s completely unnecessary; even more so is it a hindrance to human being’s natural development. Disrespectful towards nature and harmful to each individual’s supposed natural way of living, the modern world in Abbey’s eyes is what needs to be “updated” to fit as real human being’s natural habitat.

  • Why Is Context Important In Hermeneutics?

    3238 Words  | 7 Pages

    Answering these questions is the purpose of this essay. I begin by arguing that the Bible cannot be adequately understood independent of its historical context. I concede later that historical context alone however is insufficient, for the Bible is a living-breathing document as relevant to us today as it was the day it was scribed. I conclude we need both testimonies of God at work to fully appreciate how the Bible speaks to us.

  • Travel Narrative Analysis

    Many of the classical travel narratives of the past are presented with a main character, with the story revolving around their journey and experience in foreign places. Examples of the traditional way of travel writing are classics like Love and War in the Apennines by Eric Newby which is about the writers’ journey to Italy and how he met different people, including his wife, throughout the trip (Dalrymple & Theroux, 2011). There are also recent books like Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert which talks about a middle-aged woman’s travel experience as well as her self-discovery during her trip to India. It is a traditional way of travel writing to be a personal narrative and focus on a hero or a heroine. In this essay, I will talk about a
