The Bible has been interpreted by the holy Fathers of the church. These are saints who have given their inspired interpretation, such as St Athanasius the Great, St John Chrysostom, St Basil the Great, St Gregory the Theologian, and other similar saints of the church. There is no need for any further interpretation, as this could lead to personal opinions and errors. Everything we need for our salvation has already been given to us. Therefore, modern day interpretations are regarded as being irrelevant and do not provide anything needful.
