Should we read the Bible literally—or is some of it cultural? In this video, we explore how to read New Testament letters—also called epistles—by understanding historical context, moral principles, and cultural applications. Learn how to tell what still applies today and what was cultural for the time. Great for Christians and seekers wanting to study Scripture and read the Bible wisely and apply it faithfully.
