This book will answer an unequivocal "Absolutely[!]." Why? For us located in the West, the Bible is a vital part of our "spiritual ancestry," a dominant idea of the book. Hence, learning how to read and interpret the Bible properly (particularly, the New Testament) is like getting to know our spiritual ancestry better. The main strategy that this work will suggest is to treat the New Testament as a metaphorical textual village where some of our most important spiritual ancestors continue to live. If we learn some good strategies to communicate with them, we will be able, as it were, to visit this village, have meaningful conversations with our spiritual ancestors and, thus, become better grounded in our spiritual ancestry here in the West. With that, we can return to our secular context, better equipped both to embrace and wrestle with that spiritual ancestry. Hopefully, that will also help us to create for ourselves a meaning-system or spirituality that would be appropriate for our present world while being well grounded in our spiritual tradition.</p>...1797296Reading the Bible in a Secular Age443615https://www.gandhi.com.mx/reading-the-bible-in-a-secular-age/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/586444/5acc9a29-94e7-464a-acc5-eb653d660155.jpg?v=638335407440370000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781725277748_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9781725277748_<p>In a secular age which dismisses once-revered matters such as Bible reading, is there still a point to reading and studying Christianitys foundational text?
