Literacy Importance to Christians After viewing this week’s lessons materials, it gave me new insight as to why reading literature beyond the bible is important to Christians. I fully agree that reading literature can open a new thought process and help to better understand the Bible. "An understanding of literature and it's tools increase your understanding of scripture” (University
, L
,2023). I have had a struggle when I was young understanding scripture because I didn't understand the meaning of certain words and the thought process behind them. Once I began reading more books and learning in English, I had a better understanding of the Bible. When it comes to technology, I agree that it should have a healthy balance and that children today have already spent way more time watching television rather than reading. "From ages 5 to 18 a child has already watched 15,000 hours of TV which is at least double the amount of time which a child spends with school and homework”. (University
, L
,2023). While I agree that reading can explore and open the mind more, I do disagree that watching television only gives us gratification. I have learned many things while watching documentaries and other programing that I just could not focus on in a nonfiction book. Also, with just fictional shows it has given representation to things in life that some people can't gain in books. I think the statement "electronic media has its place"(University
, L
,2023) should have more of an understanding when it comes to knowledge. I believe that with technology as stated. it is important to set a balance with the time consumed by reading and with television. However, reading should take the lead as reading literature can open great thought processes and allow us to understand more about the world, religion, and our relationship with God.
