What Bible reading I did was【G1】________and superficial. Yet, if I had been asked,
"What is the most important book ever【G2】________?" I would say, "The Bible. " Nevertheless, I did not give it much attention.
As a freshman in college, I took a course studying the Bible as literature. But rather than this experience leading me to a greater【G31】________of the Bible, it convinced me the Bible was irrelevant. I remember wanting the Bible to really mean something to me and being disappointed that it did not. I did not talk about this disappointment; I guess I was ashamed or【G4】________ that this book so many said was great seemed irrelevant and out of date to me. So, I placed it on the shelf, both literally and【G5】________, along with other souvenirs from the past. And it was not just the Bible that seemed irrelevant and meaningless to me, it was also church liturgy and church-talk. And, of course, in the confidence of my youth I was sure that if I could not understand it, the Bible and church jargon must be just so much rubbish.
I had grown up assuming life was【G6】________and assuming the Bible and the church would provide me with the key to discovering that meaning. So, when I viewed both the Bible and the language of the church as more or less meaningless, I was on the edge of viewing life and my own life as more or less【G7】________. My viewing the Bible and the language of the church as【G8】________to contemporary life was a significant factor (but not the only one) contributing to a crisis of faith and significant depression that I described as the【G9】________of hope.
My greatest motivation for going to seminary was the hope of finding hope. And just as there were more factors involved in my becoming depressed than my problems with the Bible, so there were more factors involved in my recovering hope than my【G10】________of the Bible and meaning in church language. But these were significant factors.
(From The Importance of the Bible)
