Thread: Keeping in mind the assigned reading from DeYoung, please answer the following:
Briefly explain the difference between the Thessalonian and Berean approaches to the word of God. Compare both of these approaches to this statement by DeYoung, “Whether we realize it or not, we all give someone or something the last word— our parents, our culture, our community, our feelings, the government, peer-reviewed journals, opinion polls, impressions, or a holy book. . . . For Christians, this authority is the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments” (p. 78). Consider all of the ways we encounter Scriptural teaching on a dally basis (both inside and outside the church), what would it look like to be a Berean today?
