All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be  complete, equipped for every good work.
2 Timothy 3: 14-17
Immersing ourselves in the Word of God is a vital part of Orthodox spiritual life.  How do we equip ourselves "for every good work" in our scripture habits? How do we approach our reading?  How do we sort through the myriad of biblical interpretations that have led to the many denominations that surround us? What do Orthodox believe about the Bible? With the help of Father Kallistos Ware, St. Symeon the New Theologian, his eminence Archbishop Demetrios and the Author Himself, this class will examine how, as Orthodox, we approach the Holy Scripture, how we  can incorporate it in our walk and how we can live out the Gospel.
