How shoud we understand the story we find in Scripture? How do we, as a community, develop a church-wide approach to teh good work of studying and wrestling with Scritpure. How do we understand the role of tradition 


5 Rules for Studying the Bible: 


  • We understand the Bible through Jesus 

  • Look for the spirit of the passage 

  • Find Scriptures that give you a lens to have the eyes of your heart opened  

  • Read and study the great teachers (Yes, that includes Bonhoeffer)

  • Be careful not to create your own theology and tradition 

    • Studying God's Word takes work, but it is a good work permeated with grace and truth.
