For Christians, the Bible is a seriously important text. Some of us can’t go a day without reading it. Others don’t think we’re really being the church unless we study it. For many of us, it is a cornerstone of our faith. In fact, you might not think a sermon is worth listening to unless it is an explicit exposition of the Bible. Others might very well think their cell isn’t really holy unless it’s a Bible study. The Christian faith and the study and understanding of the Bible, for some people, have become synonymous. Without one the other cannot exist.
