Why is it important to understand the literary (genre) structure and features of the Bible? How does it impact your ability to read and understand God's word? Give at least one example. BIB-360 Topic 1 – DQ 2 October 24, 2023 Professor and Classmates, Knowing the genre is essential to getting the message the author(s) intended. This is all true of the genres of gospel and narrative. (“Topic Overview 7,” 2022). It will be beneficial to us to know something about the genre of a work and know about the topic being read centuries later. We will know how the ancient readers and the author experienced the book. (Wenham & Walton, 2021). Understanding genres is essential because they impact our study of Scripture. Before we ever get into the actual text of a biblical passage, we need to understand what literary genre the text is in to observe, interpret, and apply that text properly. An example is John 10:9, which states, "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture." NKJV. This verse is quoting something Jesus said. But it does not mean we must enter Christ to be saved. Jesus Christ is a person, and we can’t enter Him, He is not a door. If we give this verse a literal meaning someone will confused. That's a reason why we need to understand the literary structure and features of the Bible. Pastor Eli Grand Canyon University (2022).
