Select ALL practices that support reading a passage within the Bible’s broader unity.

### Why this is right - **A** is correct because context helps establish what the passage is doing in its own setting. - **B** is correct because related passages can clarify shared events or themes, provided the passages are genuinely related. - **D** is correct because canonical reading asks how a passage contributes to the larger biblical account. ### The concept These practices work together rather than competing. Immediate context limits careless claims, parallel passages provide comparison, and the larger story supplies a broad frame. Genre remains important because a poem, letter, narrative, and apocalyptic vision communicate differently. ### The other options - **C. Ignore the passage’s genre because unity makes form irrelevant**: Unity does not erase literary differences; genre helps determine how a passage communicates. ### Remember Read locally first, compare carefully, then place the passage in the larger story.
