Return to Scripture Anew
The article calls for reading the sacred books and reflecting on them through reason, while distinguishing divine scripture from human interpretations and scholarly judgments, which are shaped by the circumstances of those who make them and remain open to discussion and revision. It criticizes turning scholars or religious institutions into intermediaries who monopolize the understanding of scripture, stressing that respect for tradition does not mean submitting to it unconditionally or giving up one’s right to question. It concludes that we should benefit from the efforts of earlier generations without treating them as sacred, and encourage research, dialogue, and the reading of scripture through contemporary tools of knowledge—without rejecting tradition or claiming that individual understanding is infallible.
