The Language of God with Laura Barrett Bennett - EP 274

The Spiritual Forum

Have you ever been disturbed by literal interpretations of the Bible? Join Rev. Carol and her guest Rev. Laura Barrett Bennett for an enlightening conversation that will shift the way you view these texts. Laura is a third-generation Unity minister and author of the book, The Language of God: Metagetics and the Bible. During this discussion, she shares with us the three different approaches to Bible interpretation and reveals a way to look at Bible stories within their historical context, while also exploring their deeper meaning and what it symbolizes in our own psyches. Nothing is sugar-coated in this episode! Carol and Laura dig into those scriptures where God makes no sense to the rational mind and compassionate heart. Whether you love the Bible or have thrown it out completely, this conversation will open up new dimensions of understanding that will help you make peace with it and perhaps learn how it can support your life.
