Common Misinterpretations of Biblical Reading

There are nine prevalent but incorrect ways to approach reading the Bible that can lead to misunderstanding and disappointment. These include viewing the Bible through lenses that prioritize personal achievement, vague obligation, or irrelevant historical events, leading to feelings of resentment, confusion, or disconnection. Each misreading distorts the scripture's core message, veering away from its intended purpose of illuminating God's overarching narrative of grace. Recognizing these pitfalls can help readers shift toward a more enriching and accurate engagement with biblical texts.
