Hi, guys —

I am a young Catholic looking forward to learning more about the faith and strengthening my relationship with God through the Church. I have read the first five books in the Old Testament in order (as my original goal was to read the Bible cover to cover, beginning to end), but someone I know told me this is the Protestant way of reading the Bible, and Catholics shouldn't read the Bible in this manner.

  • Is it wrong to do so?

Please answer my question.

Thank you!

Bob replied:

Dear friend,

I don't know why someone would tell you that. You can read the Bible any way you want (there really isn't a Protestant or Catholic way). While I think it's great that you want to read it that way, reading the Gospels is always a good place to start.

Even better, use some good Scripture Study sources. Try the St. Paul Center with Dr. Scott Hahn for excellent resources.
