Interpreting the Bible begins with wrestling with the original context. In part that means understanding the genre of the literature (Gospel, history, letter, apocalypse, etc.) and the genres embedded in them (hymns, letters, confessions, preformed traditions, riddles, etc). Dr. Jeannine Brown, Professor of New Testament at Bethel Seminary (Minneapolis, MN), joins David Capes on the Stone Chapel Podcast to discuss how identifying genre helps to know the Bible better.
