Scripture space
Date: 15th Nov, 7 for 7.30pm
Venue: STMW Dining Room - access via door on the corner of St Anns & Great Peter Street.
Jonathan will lead an exploration on:
"Rev 13 - Christian Identity and the two beasts of the apocalypse"
To explore how the literary form/genre and historical context in which a text is written may influence how we intrepret its meaning.
Possible Preparation:
Read the text - is often described as 'apocalyptic' what might this mean, what other examples are found in scripture?
Is this a prophetic text?
How might our understanding of the literary form influence how we interpret the text?
Why should the historical context in which the text was written influence our understanding? Does this prevent it from having relevance to other circumstances?
