Bible feeding

We are looking at things Jesus did and asking if we do them too, can we become more like Jesus, and so can they become life-giving habits for us?

Today, Mal Calladine looks at how we deal with the Bible or, indeed, see how the Bible might be able to deal with us. What is the Bible, and how can we relate to it? They might sound like simple questions, but you might be surprised how many good questions pop up when we take a careful look at them.

Should we look at the Bible as a set of instructions for us, or more as a story in which we have a role?

What are the different kinds of ways we can become familiar with the Bible, not just the details which sound relevant when we hear them, but the big, whole picture which puts everything into context?

Is there a best way to feed on the Bible, or can we find a range of ideas here which might work well at different times in life?
