Why the Bible is Difficult to Understand

Kevin Halloran lists 9 reasons the Bible is difficult to understand, along with what we can do about it. His reasons:

1. We live at a different time
2. We live in a different culture
3. We speak different languages
4. We have natural minds that struggle to understand spiritual truths
5. We are sinners
6. We don’t know how the Bible storyline fits together
7. We have weak reading skills
8. We are lazy
9. We don’t approach the Bible correctly

After explaining these five hurdles, Halloran continues with reasons to rejoice in the resources God has given us. And he offers suggestions for growing in handling the Word.

This is great, practical instruction, which I highly commend.
