What happens when you study the Bible academically at seminary level?
"In this video, I share 3 shocking discoveries that completely transformed my understanding of #Christianity. As someone with a PhD in #Christian Origins and an MDiv, I reveal what #seminaries actually teach about the Bible that most Christians never hear."
"If the purpose of law school is to teach students to think, the purpose of seminary is to teach students to read."
~ Rodney Kennedy
Kennedy thinks that seminarians and those who preach in churches need especially to read novels, to educate their imaginations, expand their sense of what's possible, cultivate empathy for those different from themselves β and in that way, preach better and be better pastors.
