Hebrew Wisdom Literature ... Proverbs 1:1-7 & Job 1:1-4:21

June 10-June 16 ... Week 1 of 9
Proverbs 1:1-7
Job 1:1-4:21

This exploration of Hebrew Wisdom Literature lists fewer and shorter biblical passages than we're used to reading with the Lectio program.  In general, I recommend starting each week reading Dr. Steele's commentary - consider it a Bible class with selected readings as extra homework.

Because you probably have the bandwidth to read more than what is listed each week, feel free to explore more of the biblical text around the listed readings.  Also, try reading them repeatedly during the week:

• Daily - Read these same passages over again each day and see what new things you discover with successive readings.
• Slowly - Follow a Lectio Divina approach and listen for God's word to you as you slowly read the passages over and over again.
• Memorize - Early each week, read the passages, then decide which verses you will read over and over again in order to commit them to memory.

The focus of my lectio blog during this summer season will be to highlight aspects of Dr. Steele's commentary (see links to the right) and to invite North Creek members and friends into online discussion on the Lectio website.

Introduction: A Good Conversation

In his commentary, Dr. Steele refers to a scene from the movie The Last Samurai.  Here's a brief clip that includes the mention of "A Good Conversation."
