The World Behind the Text
Teachers familiar with the Crossways Curriculum will know that the recommended approach for interpreting scriptural texts is the 3 Worlds Strategy. The worlds ‘of the text’ and ‘in front of the text’ usually present no problems, but the world ‘behind the text’ can be more challenging. Importantly it is this ‘world’ that can help us to appreciate the full meaning and significance of the text, sometimes in ways that surprise or shock the 21st century reader. This workshop will explore some of the historical, cultural and religious factors that pertain to a range of Scriptural texts and will enable us to appreciate them through the lens of Jesus’ original audience and the gospel writers’ communities.
