Your relationship with scripture

How you read and relate to sacred scripture.

How you read sacred scripture (the Bible, Qur'an, Tanakh and so on) is a core, much-debated part of Abrahamic faith. An even-handed self-description — no reading here is the 'correct' one. Shared only if you choose. (Approaches to scripture)
