Studying the Bible when you can’t read

Imagine sitting in a church that has a dirt floor, wood slatted walls, and wood benches. The preacher is up speaking and you are curious about what he says about a certain passage of the Bible. Yet you don’t possess the skills to go home and learn more. You can’t open your Bible to read it. You can’t google it because you don’t have access to the internet nor the skills of typing. You listen, perhaps work up the courage to ask a question afterward, and go home. You long to know more about the Bible but are unable to access resources to help.

When you think of studying the Bible you might think of opening up your Bible, pulling out your pens and paper and perhaps some commentaries. What do you do when you can’t read or write and every Christian resource produced requires these skills? It means you rely upon the sermons you hear at church on Sundays to know and understand the Bible.

Yet the Bible is for everyone. You should not have to have the skill of reading and writing to know our Lord through scripture.
