Patrick Robert Grady is a public high school English teacher who has been reading and discussing various works of literature for almost thirty years.
Stemming from a variety of life circumstances such as his study of literature, his interest of Eastern Philosophy, and his upbringing as a Catholic, Patrick uncovered a particular view of the Bible narrative that he had not previously seen written or shared in current Bible Study commentaries.
Rather than seeing the words 'God' and 'Lord' as representing the same entity, Patrick views the Bible narrative from the perspective that references to 'the LORD' are references to individuals who hold power over others within the narrative. Men, women, and kings all speak as 'the LORD' within Patrick's understanding of the Bible. The unity of the present moment, the unity one achieves in a state of peace, and the unity between individuals and families all speak as 'God' within Patrick's explanation of the Bible narrative.
Patrick considers the theme of the Bible to be that all is interconnected and one. Patrick's writing seeks to reveal this fundamental truth.
