I used to wonder why God would let the Bible become difficult for humanity to understand. It really hasn’t, at least in the global South (Africa, Asia, and Latin America), where the church has been expanding rapidly, according to Jenkins. North America and Europe are the places where the biblical message is most unacceptable, where we least resonate with the narrative of Scripture. We’re the ones who have a hard time getting the point. What might the rest of the world know that we need to understand?
