Methods Series || Week 2: Interpretation

RELATED SCRIPTURE

Before asking "What does this text mean?", it’s important to ask what it meant to the original audience. Interpretation Exercise: Read Luke 8:22–25. Next, review the list of observations you made after Session 1. Before the next session, see if you can make an educated guess as to why Luke included this story. What does it seem like he was trying to communicate to people who may never have heard this? Is there something he is trying to illustrate about who Jesus is? What did it mean?
