Small Ritual - Reading the Bible

Small Ritual - Reading the Bible

i liked this and i thought it was relevant to our meeting where we talked about what is scripture, we looked at passages that might or might not have been in the bible and had to decide if they were biblical and if we thought they should be.

loose cannons? thinking about what scripture is

First meeting of the year , January, we used material from the SCM book "Reading the Bible, approaching and understanding scripture".

We had various quotes to look at and decided both if we like them, ie. found them useful, truthful and if we thought they were in the bible or should or should not be in the Bible. This generated a lot of discussion, but few conclusions.

exploring different translations of the bible

Second meeting of the year , January, we used material from the SCM book "Reading the Bible, approaching and understanding scripture" again.

We looked at how the bible has been translated over the years, how people make decsions on hw to translate and how it can be useful to look at different translations of the bible to help us understand what a passage might mean for us now.
