In our first episode, we mentioned the phrase, “Hebraic thought.” But what does it mean? Hebraic thought is the way the biblical authors of the Old and New Testaments thought about the nature of reality. If we as Christians want to grow our biblical fluency, we’ve got to be able to read the bible through the same worldview that the biblical authors held—it’s the key to fully understanding God’s message for his children throughout history and into eternity. We’ll be discussing why it’s so essential and how it can change our attitude towards Bible reading and Christian living itself.
