"I am increasingly struck that much biblical interpretation occurs without the Bible ever having been read," writes Donald Juel. Of course, Juel is not talking about the kind of reading preachers do all of the time; in our church offices, maybe in bed at night or with our morning cup of coffee. Rather, Juel laments over biblical exegesis that "is carried on without ever reading aloud" words that were meant to be heard. What happens to interpreting and preaching biblical texts without ever voicing words that were meant to be heard? This workshop will explore ways of reading and interpreting texts that take notice of the oral/aural nature of the Bible. What is the difference between reading a text and hearing a text? How can our hearing of the biblical texts help our preaching of them?
