Brent Strawn on 4 points on reading the Bible

HERE is a link to an audio recording by Brent Strawn with four very simple points for reading the Bible. His points in a nutshell are:

  1. Actually Read
  2. Read Slowly
  3. Keep Reading
  4. Re-read

Check out the audio recording as he briefly expands on these ideas.  On the same page you will also find an audio link by Moira Bucciarelli entitled “What does a Bible scholar do?”

  1. Great resource. I notice that the SBL page has the byline incorrect, though: the correct spelling should be, “Brent Strawn” (rather than Brent Strong). I wrote a note to the contact person listed on the page.

    Brent is a terrific scholar and teacher, and the points he makes in the podcast are wonderful ones for students.
