E-grāmata: Pilgrim: The Bible

Pilgrim is a teaching and discipleship resource that will help enquirers and new Christians explore what it means to travel through life with Jesus Christ. It offers an approach of participation, not persuasion, encouraging enquirers to practice the ancient disciplines of biblical reflection and prayer, exploring key texts that have helped people since the earliest days of the Christian faith.

The Bible is one of the most influential books in the world. This third book in the Grow Stage explores the Bible: what it is, where it comes from, how we should read it, and how it can help us grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Session One: What is the Bible? - Looks at a way in to reading the Bible, thinking particularly about how to recognize what kind of writing the Bible is.

Session Five: The Bible as a two-edged sword - Explores what it means to say that the Bible is living and active.

Session Six: Daily bread - Considers how we can make Bible-reading a part of our regular life and prayer.

All sessions combine a simple framework prayer, reflection on the Bible in the lectio divina style, an article by a modern writer, and time for questions and reflection, supported by online audio-visual resources.
