Topic: In the assigned reading related to your Discussion Board Forum, Duvall & Hays discussed the importance of the historical-cultural context (Chapter 5). Throughout the chapter, they identify the key aspects you should consider related to the historical-cultural context when you study Scripture. Pulling specifically from the Duvall & Hays text and synthesizing into your own words, write a 250�300-word response to the 3 prompts below. In addition, in the second part of the first question you are asked, “Do you care to share any examples from your own experience?” based upon what we have learned in the reading. Answer the three prompts in 3 separate paragraphs.
What can happen when people approach the Bible without any concern for the historical-cultural context? Do you care to share any examples from your own experience?
Can you think of an example of the historical-cultural context shedding significant light on the meaning of a biblical text?
For people living in an �instant application� society such as ours, what can persuade them to put forth effort to study the historical-cultural context?
