Things like which king reigned when, who went to war against whom, how Israel found herself in exile and what going home was like.<br /><br />Most of us, I think, approach the Bible as "a library" or "a book of books" but Cavins/Gray want Catholics to understand God's story as told within the Bible's covers. And a narrative can be discerned, for the most part. I'd rather Cavins/Gray synthesize the Bible's theology because I think Catholics look to the Bible to learn about God (theology). We aren't so much interested in the details of ancient near east history.Moonshadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277057132720569896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13263155.post-36144083304992338892010-08-02T12:50:07.015-05:002010-08-02T12:50:07.015-05:00Thanks for stopping by to post your Mailbox Monday...Thanks for stopping by to post your Mailbox Monday link!
