The Protestant Way



This is a peculiar little e-pamphlet ("Reading the Bible the Orthodox Way"), in which author John Peck tries to explain “the Orthodox way” on how to read the Scriptures. He says we should read them aloud, apply the verses to ourselves and act on them immediately. This, of course, is *not* the Orthodox way to read the Bible. It is, ahem, the Protestant way… What makes the thing so curious is that the very same writer has written a companion e-pamphlet, “Interpreting the Bible the Orthodox Way”, which actually does explain the Eastern Orthodox approach to the Bible?! Then, what is the purpose of this little diversion?
