Are You Reading the Bible Wrong? The Truth About Figurative Language

Streamed on:
66

Join host Christopher Enoch for a comprehensive study on one of the most critical topics in biblical interpretation: figurative language. Do you know when to read the Bible literally and when you're missing the metaphorical point?

In this in-depth live stream (Part 1 of a new series), we lay the foundational principles of hermeneutics to discover the *author's intended meaning*. We'll explore why a wooden "literalism" can often lead to absurd errors and how to use a systematic, text-based framework to discern the author's true message.

This study will equip you to identify and understand the most common (and most advanced) figures of speech, including:
* Simile (like/as) & Metaphor (including the "I AM" statements)
* Hyperbole (deliberate exaggeration like "gouge it out")
* Personification (like "Lady Wisdom")
* Anthropomorphism (God's "hand" or "eyes")
* Parables (like the Good Samaritan & Prodigal Son)
* Hebrew & Greek Idioms (what does "slept with his fathers" *really* mean?)

Understanding these literary devices is the key to unlocking a richer, more accurate understanding of the scriptures. This is the foundation of sound biblical study.
