How did “The Bible” as we know it get formed? How did the early church grow so big without it? If most believers throughout history couldn’t read, how was faith passed down? How did the printing press revolutionize the spread of faith? How often should a Christian read their bible? Should we do "word" studies? Should we buy commentaries? What do we do when we run into passages that challenge our faith and we don’t have the expertise to understand? Without my pastor to explain it to me how will I understand? Is a 1-hour sermon on Sunday enough faith education? If you ever wrestled with the spiritual discipline of reading your bible, this episode is for you.
