The beginning of something hopefully significant

So Monica and I had this idea to write a bible commentary of sorts and I think that doing in the format of blog will have several great advantages. Seeing as it's rather unlikely that any commentary we wrote in our spare time would ever be published, a blog means you can all discuss our comments with us and each other, and it can happen in a timely manner while our thoughts still apply to our lives now. It also provides a bit of an accountability factor between Monica and I, and hopefully between us and you. If we stop posting for some reason, please bug us about it.

I have no intention for this to be exhaustive, but I want it to be a place where we can point out the things that specifically stand out to us, as well as the things that we think get missed by christianity and the world as whole. It should also be a place where any question is posed, where we can be casual enough that regardless of your stance, experience, or level of knowledge every word in this book can be confronted. The goal is to not ignore anything, especially the questions of people other than myself and Monica. I can't promise to always have an answer, but quality discussion is guaranteed.

The format will have to be worked out a little as we go, but we'll start by taking a chapter or so at a time, I'll include my comments on the passage and Monica will give hers in a different color to lower any confusion. We plan to start with Genesis, what with it being the beginning and all, but I don't know if we'll continue straight through or if we'll jump around at all. We'll try to make posts weekly.

You're prayers are appreciated.

cheers, Zach
