Reading the Bible (self.progressivechristian)

I’m interested to know how other people approach reading the Bible, and what it means to read the Bible well.

For me, reading the Bible well means reading in context, as revelation, for Christ, through the Holy Spirit, with the Church, from the margins, by faith.

Thanks for engaging with the question. The only thing I would push back from my perspective is that I don’t think it’s so much about applying the principles of the Bible in your life as it is about allowing the Holy Spirit to shape your life.
