How to Read the Bible
By Bishop Kallistos Ware

We believe that The Scriptures constitute a coherent whole. They are at once divinely inspired and humanly expressed. They bear authoritative witness to God's revelation of Himself - in creation, in the Incarnation of the Word, and the whole history of salvation. And as such they express the word of God in human language. We know, receive, and interpret Scripture through the Church and in the Church. Our approach to the Bible is one of obedience.

We may distinguish four key qualities that mark an Orthodox reading of Scripture, namely

    • our reading should be obedient,
    • it should be ecclesial, within the Church,
    • it should be Christ-centered,
    • it should be personal.
