Minute Paper 2 (Torey, Palmer, Gardner, Nick)

Today we discussed the different interpretations and translations of the Old Testament. Because the Old Testament is made up of accumulation of ideas and beliefs from different people, it can appeal to a variety of different people from different religious backgrounds and cultures. This allows different people to take away their own thoughts from a single text. We compared this to twitter. When a large global event occurs, often times people share their thoughts or perspective to Twitter in only 140 characters. For readers, they can read and understand hundreds of different perspectives in only just a few minutes, allowing them to create their own thoughts and opinions on the event.
