Reading the Bible should begin neither with belief nor with unbelief, but with the willingness to set aside both and let the narrative define its own terms for the analysis. Those who starts with belief imposes meanings the text does not contain, while those who starts with disbelief erases meanings the text does contain. When we study the Bible or any written narrative, we can map the frameworks that appear throughout the document, and by doing so we come to understand it gradually rather than all at once. Mapping the meanings and structuring a framework to understand what we are reading does not mean we are adding or subtracting from it, for the document itself remains unchanged. We may arrive at a certain point of understanding, but we must be willing to adjust our maps accordingly when we discover new words that carry internal meanings in the source document. Systematically mapping the meanings out of a scroll does not guarantee that we will arrive at the most correct framework of the text, yet it will definitely provide a more solid foundation and greater depth to our understanding of the subject matter.
