| |  | | What's the difference between taking the Bible seriously, and taking it literally? How can we understand the Bible and its relevance for our lives? The UCC Writers' Group tackles these questions in a resource you'll find useful for your own Bible study, and which you might want to share with other members of your church. You can download it here or order extra print copies.

OPENING THE BIBLE
We believe that when you explore the Bible, you don't have to check your mind at the door—or your curiosity. Scripture can do great harm when used as a weapon, but it also opens a door to the story of God's loving relationship with humanity. Join us here on a journey of exploration into the ancient stories of faith—sometimes wonderful, sometimes troubling—from Christianity's most sacred book.
The Bible could be one of your best resources for daily prayer. The Bible is full of stories about men and women who in some ways may have been on a spiritual quest like yours. These stories can be explored through reading, study, and quiet meditation. We invite you to subscribe to our free email Stillspeaking Devotional. Every morning, we'll send you a Bible text and meditation. It's free!
Do you want to share your questions and thoughts about the Bible? Join our daily Bible study in the Bible Forum and check out Weekly Seeds—a great discussion starter for Bible study at home or in your church. Both are linked on the left of this page, and you'll find more resources in the column on the right.
