Biblical Literacy

We invite you to explore this guide to learn about the origin and development of the Bible, choosing a Bible translation, navigating the Bible, how to approach gaining an understanding of the Bible, and opportunities for engaging with the Bible. This information will support your Bible reading, but anyone can just pick up a Bible and start reading — you don't need to have any expert knowledge, though these resources can certainly help. For a quick start, watch the brief video below and then access the Bible online or through the Bible app at the link below. If you're brand new to the Bible, consider starting your reading with one of the Gospels (the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John).
