I love this, especially the part about inquiry. I wasn’t taught as a child to ask questions of the Bible, and there was always some quick, dismissive explanation (that was usually very incomplete) on the rare occasion that I did ask. So it takes a lot of intention for me to slow down, notice and wonder as I read, but it’s so worth the effort. Thanks for sharing this framework!
I’m so glad you found it helpful! I was also taught not to question the text. But as it turns out, there’s SO much fun stuff in the Bible to wonder about!
