Inspired Readings- In order for us to interpret the Scripture correctly, we must
pay attention to both what the human author wanted to say and what the Holy Spirit intended to communicate
- For the author’s intentions, consider:
• Time and culture
• Literary forms of the time
• Manner of speaking

Criteria for Interpreting Scripture:
1.) Look closely at the content and unity of the whole scripture
2.) Read the Scripture within “the living Tradition of the whole Church”
3.) Be attentive to the analogy of faith

interpreting Scripture in the light of the Holy Spirit
