How to Read the Bible #2 - Meditating on the Scriptures

How to read the Bible
Written By David Friesen
 

Description

Jesus is the centre of our faith. The Bible is a primary witness to Jesus, which means that the Scriptures are extremely important for shaping our beliefs as a community and forming our hearts and minds. But how do we read it? It`s a big library of books with several different genres, historical contexts, etc. Our conviction is that somehow the whole library of Scripture is designed to point to Jesus, so having tools to help us make meaning g from its pages matters greatly. To that end, we will spend a few weeks in a series called: How to Read the Bible. We`ll explore both “ academic” and “formational” ways of reading the Scriptures to discover how the Spirit might use our holy Text to transform us in fresh ways.
