"A Priest among the Zulus" by Brian Pitts now online... (Main Forum)

My greatest asset was my Zulu understanding of the world.[/citation]


What did you notice most on your return - from your acquired Zulu understanding of the world?  And how did that affect your later scripture search?

Sue

Thank Sue for your comments. I was like a migrant coming to a strange country.I just had to adjust and get on with it. I found people worrying about insignificant things,chasing after wind,spending like there was no tomorrow.
There is no short answer to your second question. But the starting point of any message, parable, prophecy etc in scripture is first to ask "What did the people
of the time understand by it?" This means finding out is their meanings of the words, their way of life, their beliefs etc. All these things affect what we hear in a message.
Cheers Beehive
