This project set out to discover how people read the Bible. I wanted to know not only how and when they read it but what they brought to the Bible reading experience. After interviewing thirty-two congregants, I saw a four-part pattern with two poles each. Each person was assigned one pole from each category as in Myers-Briggs. The categories and poles are as follows: (1) How people view the Bible. (a) Literal. The person believes the events of the Bible happened. The meaning is found in the words of the Bible. (b) Figurative. The person does not believe that all of the Bible happened as it says it did. The meaning is behind the words. (2) The role of scripture in people's lives. (a) Essential. The Bible is felt to be a necessary condition for the life of the disciple. (b) Supplemental. The Bible may add significant understanding but we could get along without it. (3) How people read (receive) Bible. (a) Experiental. The Bible comes alive to the reader. The reader enters into the world of the Bible. The reader encounters the Bible story as her/his story. (b) Analytical. The Bible is dissected and studied to learn truth. The reader draws out the meaning. (4) What people draw from the people. (a) Practical. The Bible is seen as a tool which can be applied to certain situations in life. (b) Formative. The Bible shapes our very being.

520 $a I found that good Bible reading was not determined by one's type but instead the congregant's ability to balance the categories and poles. A Bible reader might learn to balance their Bible reading through a four-phase Bible study method: approach the text with a sense of awe, engage the text with your life, reflect on the reading experience, and integrate the fruits of the reading.
