About Scripture
Thesis
The Scripture section explores biblical texts, themes, and patterns with depth and reflection. This is not a place for doctrine or dogma, but for layered understanding - examining how scripture works, what patterns emerge across texts, and how ancient wisdom connects to modern life.
Why it matters
Scripture contains patterns that repeat across time and culture. By studying these patterns - covenants, parables, wisdom, prophecy - we can understand not just what was written, but how meaning forms, how power moves, and how truth reveals itself in layers.
What patterns appear here?
- Covenants and Kingdoms - How agreements and authority structures shape relationships
- Parables as Pattern Language - How stories encode deeper truths
- Historical vs. Theological - The distinction between what happened and what it means
- Power and Authority - How Jesus and other figures navigated power structures
- Wisdom Literature - Practical guidance that transcends time
