I think his premise is flawed. I know and understand several whole stories in the Bible, but it is important to break things down to help to digest them (such as the reason we should chew our food well so our body can digest it better).
Why did they end the video when he just started talking about "organic" and a "hum"? Google "Is Leonard Sweet a New Age author?" and investigate for yourself what he really believes.
I love how people just want to appear smart and completely dismiss the whole message. And he needs a haircut? Seriously? Pride comes before a fall bucko, and I'd be putting on some knee pads if I were you...
@ukulelemike: How does Sweet's premise ignore the history of preaching? I think it very much includes the history but challenges us to put the pieces back together and think more holistically. Its very plausible that our dissection of the stories have diminished some of the power held in the story- whole. I appreciate his apple/ orange metaphor but think maybe our engaging should be more banana like. Some elements need be peeled away but the story still consumed whole.
Mr sweet seems to have no understanding of history and WHY the Bible, (before the KJV) was set to chapter and verse: for ease of learning, study and memory. To suggest that by separating it, it is dead, is to ignore the greatest revivals in the last 400 years, which were through the preaching from the KJV-and those from its' predecessors. I feel bad if no one taught him how to read and understand the Bible, but that doesn't make it dead, it just makes him uninformed. .....And he needs a haircut.

Apples and Oranges....This guy is a fruit... Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Oops looks like I have versities....Good!
