In this episode… we unpack the question, do Episcopalians actually read Scripture? We are joined by the Very Reverend Dr. Andy Keyse for this conversation. We talk about how Episcopalians view Holy Scripture and is there a way to faithfully study and understand them. We also discuss the importance of translations of the Bible and where to start reading the Bible if you are wanting to explore it for the first time.
We have provided links below to some of the study bibles we discuss in our conversation.
