When reading the Bible, sometimes knowing the context is key to discerning the meaning behind a certain passage.

The Bible Project, an organization that creates content to highlight the Bible, released a new video on the narrative of the Bible and the need to take this into consideration.

“An important part of reading biblical narratives is learning how to understand the nature of ‘the plot,’ how stories are arranged into a pattern of conflict and resolution. In this video we’ll see how ignoring the sequence of the plot can lead to distorted interpretation of biblical stories. We’ll also explore how grasping the multi-layered nature of the narrative can help you see the unified story that leads to Jesus,” reads the video’s description.
