I'm with Jen C. About 35 years ago I just read the Bible through, from beginning to end. I was amazed at the astounding range of this document of a particular segment of the human experience. There were parts I didn't understand, and other parts I understood in a new way. I wrote down my questions and observations as I read. It was so fascinating, I would sometimes just keep reading well into the night.
It was an astonishing experience, mostly because there are so many parts that are never studied, and so many parts that seem to contradict other parts, and I discovered that so much religious opinion is based on cherry-picking some passages and completely ignoring others.
I've come to the peaceful conclusion that if the Bible is God's inerrant word, then He would want us to hear it all, ask questions, and deal with the not always black-and-white complexities of our wonderful, puzzling existence. I've been so much happier, and I think saner, since having my thought processes broadened in this way.
My mother thinks this is alarming, and that I've turned my back on my faith. Not at all, I think my faith is deeper now, and I find myself capable of more patience and understanding toward my fellow human beings. My mom, on the other hand, often comes across as narrow and judging, and is terribly fearful of the evil, evil world. She claims to love others and live fearlessly in Christ, but really, this doesn't show, no matter how loudly she insists otherwise.
Whatever you do, I hope you find it enriching.
