      @DouthatNYT @DamonLinker @rezaaslan downplays the power of a text/beliefs to shape worldviews. But he does recognize that context matters

      @bobsmietana @DouthatNYT @rezaaslan says scriptural interprets have “nothing” to do with the text and “everything” to do with context.

      @DamonLinker @DouthatNYT @rezaaslan Yes. That's the downside of his analysis. But why not give a longer, fuller quote?

      @DamonLinker @bobsmietana @DouthatNYT Yes I can't imagine why the graphs surrounding a sentence could possibly matter. Good point.

          @rezaaslan @DamonLinker @DouthatNYT Is it fair to say that sacred texts also shape the worldview of believers.

          @bobsmietana @DamonLinker @DouthatNYT Or that texts have inherent meaning outside of one's confrontation and interpretation of them.

          @rezaaslan @DamonLinker @DouthatNYT Those who believe text is revealed say there is an inherent meaning--but they have to work to find it
