How We Understand the Meaning of Scripture

 Biblical study helps us move beyond reading Scripture as literal history to seeing it as a collection of faith stories — sacred narratives shaped to reveal God’s presence and purpose. When we approach the Bible this way, we begin to uncover the deeper truths within it: stories that teach us how to live with compassion, courage, and hope. Each passage becomes not just an account of the past, but a living word that draws us closer to the heart of God. 

The author of this article helps us understand how biblical scholarship can become our way of approaching the texts of the Bible.
