I'm known for my dry sense of humor and my sometimes sarcastic wit. But, I was texting with a friend the other day and said something which was meant with sincerity and I was called a jerk for "making fun." So, it got me thinking, can you read subtext... in text?
When we read things, there's a certain something that gets lost, but also gets added. The bible is one of those things. Since this book has been around for thousands of years and has been translated and retranslated so is imagine that something's are lost in translation, or for the sake of this argument, added in translation.
As a writer I'm constantly trying to not interject myself into what I write. Now I really need to go against what I was taught from the time that I learned to read, and not interject myself into what I read. I'm actively trying to remain objective in what I say, read, and write and much as possible.
