Study books of the Bible with other folks.

Learn the methods used by contemporary scholars in their study of the Bible e.g., the Historical Critical method, Narrative method, Structuralism, Post-Structuralism, and Post-post-structuralism. We will cover the Gospels, a little Hebrew Bible (that's what some scholars call the Old Testament (see you're already learning)), some Paul, and whatever other stuff we feel like.  Learn to read the Bible for yourself and see if the preacher you heard last week is full it.
