Bible

"Inwardly digesting the Scriptures has to do with helping them shape not just what we do but literally how we think—how we see the world, how we perceive things—that our understanding of the universe, our understanding of God, our understanding of ourselves, are really shaped and formed by a biblical world view... that we think like the Bible thinks." 

In this final message of Bishop Alex's Lenten series, he explores how we should approach "inwardly digesting" the Scriptures, as the Book of Common Prayer urges us to do.

"In [studying the Bible], we understand the Scriptures in their context: this passage in the context of the broader book, and that book in the broader context of the fullness of the Scriptures. It's about deeply understanding what the Scriptures are saying, learning them, and applying some effort to know them better." 

In this fifth message of his Lenten series on the Scriptures, Bishop Alex explains what we gain from more focused Bible study and a few different ways to go about it.
