Religious Quest Discussion Question

This week the required and provided link explores the topic of sacred books beginning with the article “The Good Book: Reading the Bible with Mind and Heart” by Peter Gomes, chapter 1   http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/books/chap1/goodbook.htm

As usual, select a point (term, concept, theory, statement) to pursue further.  Let’s name, define or describe, analyze and present a conclusion from one or more sources linking your work to this article.  The other threads this week will continue our religious quest on different topics.

Thoughts and sources, class?

By the way the Psalm reference in today’s Liturgy of the Hours is Psalm 86 with the refrain from verse 6: “Hear my prayer, LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.”  What does this say about the Religious Quest?
