DESCRIPTION

In the episcopal address delivered to the 1996 General Conference of the United Methodist Church on behalf of the Council of Bishops, Bishop Judith Craigh characterized the Bible as "an ancient body of truth guiding a contemporary and emerging expression of new things God is doing." It is from this understanding that we examine How United Methodists Study Scripture.

In the chapters of this book, four authors contribute with different emphases to the process of Bible study and interpretation: (1) Reading the Bible in the First Sixteen Centuries, (2) The Study of Scripture in Early Methodism, (3) A Contemporary Approach: Interpreting the Bible in Historical Context and 94) Characteristics of United Methodist Study and Interpretation of the Bible.
