I’m #Reading God’s Ghostwriters by #CandidaMoss https://bookshop.org/a/13969/9780316564670 (affiliate link) for my diocese’ #EfM #BookClub & found this #Patheos article by #HenryKarlson to be very timely to that: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/henrykarlson/2025/07/multiple-interpretations-the-key-to-richer-text-engagement/

Moss’ book has me reading #Scripture with new eyes & understanding while Karlson’s essay reinforces how important it is to read with an open heart & open mind. Both serve as vivid reminders that the issues I have with Scripture stem, at least in part, to the perceptions I bring to the reading. Perhaps one of the unspoken (unrecognized?) reasons I am feeling a need to take a deeper dive into my #Faith is to better understand myself as well as my religious beliefs. It’s not deconstruction as much as it is a fuller immersion into my faith & an active, conscious releasing of those aspects of religion & religious teaching that no longer serve me. I’m not abandoning the #JesusMovement as much as trying to live into it.
