The 6 Lenses of Context

Understanding the original context changes everything.

In order to understand the Bible well, we must read it through the lenses of its original context.

Six Lenses. One Text. The world it was written in.

  • HistoricalThe events and powers influencing the world of the Bible.
  • CulturalThe customs, values, and everyday realities shaping people’s lives.
  • GeographicalHow the land and location shape what happens and why.
  • LinguisticThe meaning and richness of words in their original languages.
  • LiteraryHow a passage is written and fits within the Bible’s larger story.
  • VisualWhat the places and scenes of the Bible actually looked like.

Every film, trip, teaching, and book above is built on these six lenses.
