For the next few weeks we shall be focusing on some of the sub-headings in the bible - things that translators have added to help make the bible more accessible. But also take a closer look at how they can sometimes miss a lot of the story.
These sub-headings shape our reading of the text. If a sub- heading tells me about a prodigal son I’m not likely to pay as much attention to the other characters in the parable. Ultimately these subtitles were put there by people, often with very good intentions to help make the bible easier to read…but sometimes they miss the point. And sometimes scripture is just so rich that there is no way that a few words could sum it up.
So join us as we flip the script and dig deeper into the scripture that we love so much.
