THE Bible is not a washing machine manual, a booklet in which words can only mean one thing. Scripture is a rich tapestry of myth, spirituality, liturgy and fragments of history. It is the Word of God and because of that it is eternally fertile. Biblical stories or faith narratives invite us inside: we are to step into the scene, seeing it and feeling it for ourselves. The possibility of inner change and personal renewal comes when the story ills our soul, our consciousness; when we are enveloped by it.
