Context is everything in language, even in, or maybe especially in, English we have words that can mean very different things to different people or when used in different ways. Not to mention how context has been changing throughout time for individual languages. Look at writing from 100 years ago, way different meanings than now. So when talking about these ancient texts I wonder how far off we are from the original meaning.
Either way, people should be able to express their own truth in life, despite whatever source material they are talking about. Nice article, I've always been fascinated with language and context.
