28: Why Americans Often Miss
the Major Themes of the Bible
The Bible was written by people who had been living under oppression for centuries. They want to be free and are tired of being oppressed. The Bible continually critiques the strong and powerful, the military might and violence.
America is a strong nation. It is not wonder we miss the themes. America is a great place to live, but it is being seduced by the concept more. More land, more wealth, more, more, more…
More is not always better. The Bible critiques the culture of more. The Bible reminds us that it matters how we at and what we believe and how we treat each other.
