Interpreting the Bible Part 3 - Collecting Lenses - 065

Bridging the gap between culture and language are two of the biggest hurdles in approaching scripture.  For the final installment of our interpreting the Bible series Jeff, Mona and Allen talk about ways we can accomplish this sometimes overwhelming task.  How do we read the bible in and out of its original context?    The episode, and series, ends with a segment called Biblical Oddities.
