How to read the Bible

📜 Introduction

The Church invites us to read the Bible with faith and in the same Spirit in which it was written: paying attention to the context and literary form of each book, to the unity of the whole of Scripture, to the living Tradition of the Church and to the harmony among the truths of faith (Catechism 109-114). A simple way is lectio divina: read, meditate, pray and contemplate.

⭐ Key ideas

• Pay attention to context and literary form.
• Read within the unity of all Scripture and the Church's living Tradition.
