註釋Why is it important to understand the Bible?This book is for those who want to be true to the spirit of the Christ and want to use the Bible as a guide to their spiritual growth rather than as a literal instruction manual for evaluating and judging external behavior - especially the behaviour of others. Spiritually is always an inside job and is always gentle, kind, understanding and accepting - of others and of self.It is just as unbalanced for a metaphysician, humanist or agnostic to believe he Bible is simple metaphorical - as it is for a Christian to believe each word must be interpreted literally. Clear spiritual thinking requires an understanding of what the Bible is - and isn't.While O'Dell performs a scholar work explaining the facts, politics and beliefs that forged the evolution of thee Bible, his experiential faith in the sacredness of the presence of the Holy Spirit imbues this book with authentic humanness. Readers will understand that being a Christian requires more than attaching oneself to a congregation and believing the Bible literally.Knowing God is the active pursuit of experiential faith.The fruit of this book is the presentation of Biblical facts, which are sewn together in the recognition that the Kingdom of God is available right now for you: Having experiences where others see God in you; Gifting your life with experiences of seeing God in all others; and Experiencing Spirit's daily guidance as you live your life.
