ON READING THE BIBLE
“How to Know the Bible” is the ’subject of an article in the “Listener” by the Archbishop of York, Dr Temple. He writes: If, when the lens of the camera is opened, there is behind it not a photographic film or plate, but a piece of looking-glass, there will be for the moment a very accurate reflection of the object in front of the lens; but there will be no photograph. If there is to be a photograph there must be a film or plate which is sensitive to the rays of light. So, too, if we read the Bible with alert minds but without spiritual sympathy, we shall acquire precise knowledge about it, but no knowledge of it. If we are truly to know it, what is required is that while we read the prophet’s record of the Word of the Lord that came to him, the Word of the Lord should be heard in our own souls.
