Q.
Is there a right or wrong way to read the Bible?
Suggested Questions for Further Discussion/Thought
- What kind of risks would be involved if you set aside all preconceived
ideas about scripture and approached it as if for the fi rst time? - What is “truth”? And how do you know it is truth?
- Is it wrong to read the Bible with a critical eye? Don’t faith leaders do
that? - Is it possible to come to a different conclusion than your religion does
about certain passages without losing your faith or violating the rules of
your religion? - How should the original context of the various biblical texts shape what
they mean to contemporary society?
