How can we open ourselves to the transforming energy of the Bible, and how can we become biblically literate? How do we read the Bible as a “revealed text,” the Word of God, in a church and culture as diverse as ours, without pain and division? These are some of the questions Wade asks about Episcopalians and the Bible. The 21st century church has commitments to diversity and evangelism, a responsibility to interpret the meaning of life for people whose lives are longer than ever before, and a need to speak to the emerging culture of the future generations. We must allow ourselves to be transformed by Scripture as never before.
