Read Together, Die Alone 11/08/2010
I've got this fantastic idea for a blog series that I've been milling over in my head for years now. I want to write a series on the lost art of reading biblical narrative and scripture together. Reading, out loud, together with others is how the majority of people throughout the course of history have taken in spiritual guidance. In modern times, we've got access to books of all kinds as well as digital media that has put scripture into the hands of laypeople and allowed us to have individualized reading plans and devotion. I think this is mainly a good thing, but I wonder if we're missing something by leaving behind the legacy of corporate reading and community interpretation. Anyone want to join me for the series?
