reading the bible - can normal people do it right?

yes

everyone needs to read the bible and trust what they first understand
and - as time goes by - they need to read and re-read and re-read the same pieces of their bible with new tools, new insights, and new imagination

enter scot mcknight, biblical scholar par excellence, chicago native, and noted author.

he's written a new book on how to read the bible and - so far - it is excellent.

we'll be ordering a few copies to keep around the winds, so i suggest you grab one (it's very easy reading) because knowing how to read the bible is one of the hallmarks of christianity in the world today.

it's a must.
