Marty Solomon: Was the Bible God’s Idea?

Show Notes

Seriously what’s up with the Bible? Why are there so many translations? Is it literal? Is it metaphor? Did God write it or is he more of a co-author?

In this episode with Marty Solomon - and our special co-host Naeem Fazal - we take a look at the Bible from the Hebrew perspective, maybe as God intended it. Marty explains how scripture is supposed to be read, the mistakes we often face in our quiet times and what we can do to ask better questions of the text as we read.

If you’re not sure what to do with the Bible or you’re ready to try reading it again, you’ll find grace and insight in this episode. When you’re ready to dig deeper and think at a higher level, we can’t recommend Marty’s podcast, BEMA discipleship, enough. Until then, this conversation will meet you where you are with patience, guidance and practical application.
