Setting (Episode 7)

In Episode 7 of How to Read the Bible from The Bible Project Collection, we explore the importance of setting in biblical storytelling.

Every story unfolds in a location filled with meaning. From gardens and mountains to wildernesses and cities, biblical authors carefully choose settings to shape the message of the story. These places often meet reader expectations—or intentionally subvert them—to reveal deeper theological truths.

This episode will help you see how understanding setting adds depth, clarity, and richness to the biblical narrative, allowing you to read Scripture with greater awareness and insight.
