Thank you for your insights here! I find it interesting you you have described the Old Testament to be a work written and meant to be read and studied in community. Recently, I listened to an interview with Francis Chan and Lila Rose where he pointed out how in American culture, we tend to sit in our own desks and come to our own conclusions about what the Bible says independent of the input of others in the present and in the past throughout the centuries of church history. It reminds me of 1 Timothy 4:13: "Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching", how in Revelation we are encouraged to read its words out loud (Revelation 1:3), and the multiple proverbs about seeking counsel and wisdom within community.
