This week&#8217;s theme, music, saw participants looking at the symbolic nature of music and how passages portray a musical quality, especially when they move us to action.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13228\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13228\" style=\"width: 270px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2012\/06\/emu-uva-and-george-mason-co-host-scriptural-reasoning-tour\/photo_peter_ochs_revised-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-13228\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13228 \" src=\"http:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2012\/06\/photo_peter_ochs_revised1-300x181.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2012\/06\/photo_peter_ochs_revised1-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2012\/06\/photo_peter_ochs_revised1-1024x621.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2012\/06\/photo_peter_ochs_revised1-610x370.jpg 610w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2012\/06\/photo_peter_ochs_revised1.jpg 1525w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peter Ochs discussed spiritual reasoning during the first day of the training session.

In addition, grammatical constructions, tone and narrative structure are used to deepen the conversation. Sessions can also dive into controversial and sensitive topics addressed by scripture, such as Jews as \u201cchosen people\u201d and the resurrection of Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We believe where the practice of scriptural reasoning takes place is part of the experience, and sharing this environment of Mennonite influence and ways of faithful peace and patience celebrates that,&#8221; Ochs said, a Judaic scholar who began doing scriptural reasoning with 91短视频 scholars about six years ago. &#8220;The significance of training here completes the circle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information on scriptural reasoning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The UVa Library hosts the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/etext.lib.virginia.edu\/journals\/ssr\/\">Journal of Scriptural Reasoning<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/etext.lib.virginia.edu\/journals\/jsrforum\/index.html\">related forums<\/a><\/strong> that provide guidance on scriptural reasoning. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/personnel\/people\/show\/pd767\">Peter Dula<\/a>, chair of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emu.edu\/bible\/\">Bible and religion<\/a> at 91短视频, is on the editorial board for the journal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scriptural scholars from the University of Virginia joined peers from others parts of North America at 91短视频 during the third week of June (2012) to experience \u201cMennonite influence, <a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2012\/emu-uva-and-george-mason-co-host-scriptural-reasoning-tour\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"more-link\">... read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">about 91短视频, UVA and George Mason Co-Host Scriptural Reasoning Tour<\/span><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"author":112,"featured_media":13226,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5583,14184,13679,5642,5623],"tags":[13680,5668,10191],"feature":[],"class_list":["post-13169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-campus-community","category-campus-guests","category-center-for-interfaith-engagement","category-faculty-and-staff","category-special-programs","tag-ed-martin","tag-interfaith","tag-peter-ochs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 -
