How should we read the stories of Scripture?
--The meaning lies somewhere outside of the words and events
--The significance is not delivered by typical literary elements such as suspense, surprise. We are not literary critics.
--They are always serious, never comic (irony is God’s sense of humor)
--We should read them with childlike wonder, because the supernatural is awesome
--God gave humans "imagination" so we could receive the stories of Scripture.
--They tell us WHY through telling us the WHAT (science explains everything except why we ask why?)
--To live without a sense of your place in a story is to live an absurd life
