Did You Know That the Bible Is 30% Poetry? How to Understand Poetry in the Bible

566: Did You Know That the Bible Is 30% Poetry? How to Understand Poetry in the Bible 

In this episode, Rachael talks with Bible teacher Jen Weaver about the role of poetry in Scripture and how it can deepen our understanding and connection with God. They discuss how poetry is often overlooked or misunderstood, but it actually makes up over 30% of the Bible. They explore key themes and passages in Scripture that are poetry, such as the Psalms and the prophetic words in the Old Testament. Jen also shares her journey of writing a book on poetry, titled 'A Beckoning to Wonder,' and how it can evoke wonder and help us process our emotions and experiences with God.
