I think you've hit the nail right on the head. Even lots of memorizing won't do much good if we don't think about it and interpret our lives in the terms, categories, and imagery of God's word.<br /><br />As an aside, I also totally agree on your verdict of pseudo-literacy. You used to have to recite what you had read verbatim. Now, teachers ask to hear your response to a text, without much talk about the text itself! If you're not internalizing what you read, how literate can you be? I struggle with this all the time because my teachers make me read 1000 pages a week (which means it's impossible to read carefully). The result is a vague impression of everything you've read but little retention. As my Greek professor reminds the students all the time, we've never had so many resources and such little interest.<br /><br />Awesome post, I look forward to reading more!<br /><br />JoshJoshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11539822137648869509noreply@blogger.com
