videos around how and why we read the Bible

Other readings you can wrestle with around how and why we read the Bible

  • Making Sense of the Bible. Rediscovering the Power of Scripture Today. By Adam Hamilton.

    • Chapter 17. Is the Bible Inerrant and Infallible? [PDF]

    • Chapter 18. A High View of Scripture? [PDF]

    • A good introduction to questions about inerrancy, and how we read the Bible as the Word of God - not dictated but communicated.

  • How to Read the Bible for All It’s Worth by Gordon D. Fee.

    Chapter 1 The Need to Interpret. [PDF].

    This is a classic text used in seminaries and still a great introduction to why you have to interpret the Bible no just take it at face value or literally.

 

Wrestling with the Bible

as god’s word

This summer we will be wrestling with the Bible: how to read it, how to understand and interpret it?'; as well as asking the questions who wrote it?'; Who decided what was included and left out?; and how can we trust it? This idea came from brainstorming work with our Worship Team. We will also fold in readings and group discussions as we learn more about the Bible as a text and how we read it as a church, and how you can grow in your Biblical Literacy.
