  17. CICC Cafe: Biblefresh InsightsMeaning-makingThe Lord is my Shepherd • Truth at two dimensions • Linear or 2D – the linear reading of the text • Parallel or 3D – the parallel reading of the text • Notice the learning that comes from the As • Notice the learning that comes from the Bs and the Cs • Like the difference between 2D vision & 3D vision! • 2D is seeing on one plane, 3D is seeing in depth
