What Am I Working On?
[Way off the Recognized Beaten Path,
Though not off the Historical One]
Work is in flight on the development of inspirational and motivational collections of literature; collections that will be of interest to those students of life, and of religion, who truly want to understand the God of the Bible. The objective is to explore and explain the pure religion that is of the Bible, with a minimum of extra-biblical references, other than the associated text that is contained in the bodies of the collections.
These are in-depth evaluations of specific topics in life, sometimes even centering on a single word; as such, they will be extensive and exhaustive. Therefore, they will require your diligent evaluation, in order for you to maximize your understanding of the contents. There are no surface answers to use as intellectual crutches. There will be a minimum of material available for convenient clichés or catch phrases. Even where such things are present, and even if they end up being catch phrases, the intention is to eliminate the type of accusatory chastisement, and reckless condemnation that is, too often, projected as a means to promote particular religious agendas.
The works are scholarly, so they indeed require more than just a basic level of interpretive skills. Yes, these are interpretive works; after all, they are the products of the mind of a human, such as the readers are, too. There is much controversy involved in them; but this is the nature of the pure reliance on the words of the Bible. Such reliance does not tolerate either, signs of the times, or lifestyle nuances of any single revered group or individual; except for the major groups and individuals that you will find in the pages of the Bible. Included among the revered individuals that are in the Bible are the following: the children of Israel, Moses and the prophets, and Jesus of Nazareth and the apostles.
This is not, though, an abstract discussion of religious principles. Much of what is contained in the series will use examples from life, to add some relevance to the readers’ experiences with the text. Fortunately, in that regard, I received the blessing of seeing many areas of life; and these experiences are included here for the edification of the readers of the series.
The journey begins in the first book of the series, “Didn't Go, A View from the Top“. In addition, for those who are e-persons, there is a supporting web site system. The path through this system begins with this e-place: http://www.lifelearningseries.org.
