Reading the Bible can be done individually, in worship, or in groups. But there are additional ways of reading scripture. We read for information, when we read for study. We read for spiritual formation when we read for devotion. The conversation in this final episode explores some examples of how to read in these ways. Keep in mind, though, that these are only a few of the many ways to experience scripture through reading.
