Scriptural Reading Plan

The Bible, the Church teaches, is an anthology, a library of different books, whose key of interpretation is Jesus Christ.

This Christian understanding of interpretation is somewhat post-post-modern, because the original or intended interpretation of the book or text is not always how we best understand it.

​We do not disregard the historical, however; rather, we read the historical anew through the lens of Christ.
