Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart

Think of the Bible as a divine drama with a prologue, three acts and an epilogue. Think of the Old Testament as the prologue and act one. Think of the prologue as the first eleven chapters of Genesiscontaining the creation, God's plan one (Adam and Eve and the Garden) and God's plan two (Noah and the Flood). Think of act one, God's plan three (the covenant with Abraham),as beginning with chapter twelve of Genesis and continuing through the rest of the Old Testament. Next, think of understanding the Bible as a process of connecting the conviction of mind and the consent of heart, a process facilitated by the use of poetry. Now you are ready to begin reading Understanding the Bible: Head and HeartPart One, The Old Testament, a work that utilizes poetry to facilitate a head and heart understanding.
