Video Introduction and Overview
Welcome to the website of the Read the Bible for Life initiative, which aims to improve biblical literacy in the church by encouraging readers to grow in joy and skill in reading the Bible. The initiative seeks to foster:
- an understanding of how to read the parts of Scripture well,
- a perspective on the Bible as a grand story God has written on the world,
- a grasp of the themes of Scripture that thread their way powerfully and beautifully from the beginning to the end of this book of books, and
- sound application of the Scripture to modern-day life.
Through a variety of tools found on this website, we seek to help the local church by offering a multifaceted strategy for raising up disciples who are rooted and growing in the Scriptures. Visit the Read the Bible for Life blog, by author George Guthrie, for updates on the initiative for both you and your church.
