The Bible once failed America and it may happen today, threatening our well-being. In this episode I explore the error of "commonsense literalism" that contributed to the Civil War. There is a better way to interpret the Bible: as a Wisdom book which can speak to all cultures.
Sections include:
Two messages about slavery from the Bible
The mistakes of "Commonsense Literalism"
How the Bible actually works
Interpretation as wisdom for each culture
