Exewhaaaaatt????

Exegesis. An explanation or critical interpretation. In this case, it was an exegesis, or critical interpretation of 1 Corinthians 15:20-28. Taking into account all historical and cultural context. I honestly had never read the whole book of 1 Corinthians, and this was necessary for doing the exegesis of this passage. Soooo.... I read the whole book of 1 Corinthians today!! And officially spent around 9 hours studying this passage today to write my exegesis paper for my Hermeneutics class!!! I hunkered down just before 9am this morning, with a stack of books, a cup of coffee, and of course the Bible!



My books and, of course, coffee!!!! :)



Where I spent my day...

I have my summary sentence and my defense. And DEFINITELY learned a TON about the Corinthians and Paul!!! It was interesting, but almost made studying the Bible too much work. Seriously. If that is how we should read the Bible, I don't really know if it's realistic to read it every day....or even enjoy it.... But I'm proud of my final product!! Just need to check out some commentaries and see how my summary compares. Hopefully it's close!

And a BIG thank you to my grandma for talking through the scripture with me!!! I really lack insight into the scriptures...or maybe I just don't know as much as I thought and my grandma is super knowledgable. I'm very lucky to have her in my life! Love you grandma! <3
