Reply To: In Lecture 2, Dr. Dru Johnson mentions that there has been a decline in biblical literacy in the Church. After taking this course, what are some recommendations you would give to church leadership to increase biblical literacy?

I would advocate establishing small groups through parishes where people can study the Bible using structured courses or authoritative study Bibles and commentaries, with occasional opportunities to meet with a church leader for guidance. The use of authoritative materials is crucial to ensure that the groups are studying and learning what the Bible actually says and helping each other to deepen their understanding, rather than devolving into a discussion of what they think about what the text says without a deeper context.
