There are many ways to interpret The Bible. It can be interpreted literally, allegorically, as history, as a set of historical novels, as theology alone, and so on.

With the advent of historical criticism, it is now difficult to interpret the entire Bible literally and, in any case, archaeologists have shown the impossibility of much in the Bible that was once regarded as reliable history. Nevertheless, a significant number of people still regard a literal reading of the Bible as at least one valid way to interpret it.

Do all Christians interpret the Bible in the same way?

No, in fact, some would argue that no Christians interpret the same way. That's one of the primary reasons why there are so many various churches of Christianity, such as the Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and Anglican churches. Within those branches, there are sure to be dissenting views. Ultimately, however, most faiths would agree that that the prevailing message from the Bible is to live as virtuous and useful life as possible.


Does the Catholic Church interpret the New Testament?

Yes. Jesus said and did what the Father told him to. His words were simple but are only understood by those who choose to believe. In one part of the bible Jesus praised the Father by saying how it pleased the father to have it this way - those who thought they were righteous (those who believe they have the answers not God) did not understand what Jesus was telling them. The Catholic Church interprets the bible to explain God's will to the willing.

Why must you be careful about the way you interpret the Bible?

A:If you use the Bible to secure your faith, it is important to interpret it selectively. The temptation could be to read Old Testament passages in context and realise that they do not really prophesy or foreshadow the life of Jesus. It is only by taking passages out of context that you can see them as prophecies of the distant future. You could also read some of the New Testament passages that refer to the Old Testament and realise that the connection is forced. So, it is first of all important to avoid that temptation at all costs. Only people secure in their faith can risk reading the Bible as it was originally meant to be read.
