Faith Across Borders

🐍“If Your Son Asks for Bread…” | How Culture Shapes Bible Reading

“If your son asks for bread, you will not give him a snake.” For many of us, this sounds obvious. But in some cultures, snake is considered a delicacy. So what does this example really communicate? In this episode of Faith Across Borders, two pastors one from Ghana and one from China explore how cultural background shapes the way we read and understand the Bible. What seems clear in one culture may feel completely different in another. And that changes how we hear Jesus’ words. Discover how reading the Bible across cultures can deepen your understanding of Scripture. Liever in het Nederlands?
