This blog post is going to be a little different from the other posts I usually write. Typically, I focus on a theological topic, biblical passage, or Christian book in my posts, but no matter what I write about, I always make an effort to center my posts on the truth of the Bible. And I do this because I am passionate about the Word of God, and I want other people to be excited about learning from it and to be in awe of its beauty. This mission is actually in the tagline of my website – “Encouraging Women to Love God’s Word.”
Growing up in church and in Christian school, I had the privilege of learning a great deal about the Bible, and this privilege is something I am deeply grateful for. However, not every Christian today grew up in a Christian home. Not every Christian today went to church every Sunday morning or memorized weekly Bible verses. Not every Christian today is well-versed in theology and knows what big, theological terms, like “inerrancy” and “metanarrative,” mean. On this blog, I talk and teach a lot about the Bible, yet I know that many of you may not even be aware of the basics of Bibliology (the study of the Bible). So, this post will be like a crash course of sorts and teach you the basic things you need to know about the Bible.
