Rachel Held Evans:

And we're not supposed to engage the Bible all on our own, either.  We're meant to prayerfully engage it alongside our brothers and sisters in the faith.  When we remain open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the input of others who have their own experiences and insights, we can understand Scripture far better than we would on our own.

Of course, we won't always agree on how to interpret some of the most complex and confusing passages.  But these tensions, in the end, are what keep us humble.  They remind us that our interpretations are only as inerrant as we are.

"Slant"
